PBOC Lets 6 Major Banks Handle Offshore Yuan Deals Directly From Mainland
3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 23
Summary
Six major Chinese lenders, including ICBC, Agricultural Bank of China, Bank of China and China Construction Bank, can now conduct offshore yuan transactions directly from the mainland under a new PBOC move.
The step narrows the divide between China’s domestic and offshore yuan markets, giving banks a more direct channel to move and manage the currency across jurisdictions.
Beijing is using the change to advance its long-running push to internationalize the yuan while still keeping tight control over how the currency is managed.
