Synopsis:
In recent years, in particular since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the growing use of sanctions in the dollar-based international payments system, interest in Renminbi (RMB) as an alternative international currency has grown. Yet, the international use of the RMB still falls well short of China’s importance in the world economy, international trade and finance. The seminar, based on a recent report by Bert Hofman and Johannes Petry, reviews the progress of RMB internationalisation, discusses developments in the infrastructure supporting internationalisation and examines the political and academic debates on the topic. The seminar will also present several scenarios on the future of RMB internationalisation.
Note:
Registration is required for this seminar, which will be held on the Chatham House rule.
