According to a City of London report,
investors with an interest in China have welcomed the availability
of RMB products and services.

“The usage of RMB outside China has grown
significantly in recent years – helping it to climb up the ladder
towards becoming a world payments currency. Understanding the
perspectives of current and potential users of RMB products and
services will help to develop the services offered to these firms,
grow the liquidity pool in London and contribute to the
international use of the RMB outside mainland China,” said Mark
Boleat, City of London Corporation policy chairman.

“The vision of the City of London initiative
is to strengthen London’s role as a leading centre for
international RMB business. Such industry cooperation is an
important part of the development of London’s offer – providing
services for corporates, investors and intermediaries across Europe
and beyond,” he said.
