Financial reforms advanced in an orderly manner, policies guiding the cross-border use of the RMB experienced breakthroughs and improvements, and international trade and financial cooperation deepened. In particular, offshore markets developed very rapidly. Five main pillars have come together to push RMB internationalization into the next phase. In the third quarter of last year, the RMB internationalization index (RII) surpassed a level of 1, heralding the beginning of the RIIs single-digit era. Boosted by growing market demand and the release of the “reform dividend”, the RMB saw a noticeable increase in its share of use in global markets despite greater exchange rate volatility, hot money arbitrage, and financial turmoil in emerging markets triggered by the tapering Quantitative Easing (QE) in the US. It is estimated that the RII will climb to as high as 1.88 by the end of 2014.Focusing on RMB InternationalizationRII Current Status and Future Outlook In 2013, the RMBs level of internationalization continued to increase with steady upward momentum. The RII broke through the threshold of 1 to reach 1.20 in the third quarter. It is estimated the RII rose to 1.36 by the end of 2013, a year-on-year increase of 53.61%.Cross-border trade settlements provided a solid foundation for the internationalization of the RMB. At the end of Q3 2013, RMB cross-border trade settlement transactions performed by banks accumulated to 3.16 trillion yuan, increasing 54.15% compared with the same period last year, and accounting for 1.95% of the world total. RMB-denominated international financial payments strengthened further. Both global credit and bond markets witnessed a further expansion of RMB use, with totals reaching 915.221 billion yuan and 66.409 billion US dollars respectively. RMB direct investment, including foreign direct investment (FDI) and outward direct investment (ODI), accumulated to at total of 137.66 billion yuan. By the end of Q3 2013, the “comprehensive global ratio”1of RMB-denominated international financial payments reached 1.38%, a year-on-year rise of 66.40%.1The“comprehensive globalratio” ofRMB-denominatedsettlementsinglobalfinancialmarketsconsistsoftheproportionofRMBcreditintotalglobalforeigncredit,theproportionofRMBbondsandbillsinthetotalglobalissuanceofbondsandbills(balance),andtheproportionofRMBdirectinvestmentintotalglobaldirectinvestment.中国人民大学重阳金融研究院8 人大重阳研究报告发布第 3 期 中国人民大学国际货币研究所More countries are expected to include the RMB in official reserves. The People's Bank of China (PBOC) has successively signed bilateral currency swap agreements with the central banks of Hungary, Albania, Iceland and the UK in 2013. As of the end of Q3 2013, the total amount of currency swap agreements signed between the PBOC and 23 countries and regions reached 2.22 trillion yuan. This not only facilitates RMB-denominated settlement in trade and investment deals, but also helps the RMB to accumulate its strength in international foreign exchange reserves.In 2014 China enters a crucial phase for comprehensively deepening reforms. Streamlining administration and delegating power as well as finance and tax system reform create a dynamic trend that is stimulating private investment. The new urbanization plan will help to stimulate consumption demand, and in advanced economies demand for imports is recovering. It is expected that Chinas economy will maintain stable and steady growth. Because Chinas trade and capital surpluses will not reverse, any violent fluctuation in the RMB exchange rate is unlikely. The willingness to use and the real demand for RMB in international economic transactions are both expected to rise. It is estimated that by the end of 2014 the RII will surge to 1.88.Chart 1: RII人大重阳研究报告发布第 3 期 9中国人民大学重阳金融研究院中国人民大学国际货币研究所Growth of RIIFirst, Chinese economic growth is stable. Trade and investment are increasing rapidly, which consolidates the economic basis for RMB internationalization.Second, orderly financial system reform is underway. Controls over financial institution loan interest rates are being lifted, RMB treasury bond futures are reemerging and the RMB Qualified Foreign Limited Partner (RQFLP) program was unveiled. In particular, The China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone is the most recent benchmark for opening up that will release huge “reform dividends” and greatly Chart 2: Use of RMB in Global Trade and Financial Transactions.Chart 3: Size of Currency Swaps between People's Bank of China (PBOC) and Other Monetary Authorities (Unit: Hundred Million RMB)中国人民大学重阳金融研究院10 人大重阳研究报告发布第 3 期 中国人民大学国际货币研究所boost the confidence of international markets to accept RMB.Third, RMB cross-border use policy is improving and making breakthroughs. The review process for RMB settlement in cross-border trade and financing operations within the current account has been simplified greatly, inspiring businesses and institutions to take initiative and use RMB in foreign exchanges more regularly.Fourth, international trade and financial cooperation are deepening. China signed a free trade agreement with Switzerland and also reached a consensus with BRICS countries to set up a plan for contingency reserves and a broad platform for the international use of RMB.Fifth, the offshore RMB market has developed rapidly. The scale of offshore RMB deposits in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, London, Luxembourg, Frankfurt and other places have all increased substantially. Outside of transactions in loans and deposits, CES China 120 Index Futures, RMB Euro Commercial Paper (ECP) and other financial products in RMB have begun trading in offshore markets, further enhancing the international attractiveness of the RMB.Future ChallengesThe first challenge: a strong new driver of economic growth has yet to materialize. Economic transformation is still a daunting task, and constraints on resources and the environment are increasing. To a certain extent, slowing economic growth will exert a negative influence on the internationalization of the RMB in the short and medium term.The second challenge: the exit timeframe and intensity of US Quantitative Easing (QE) is still uncertain. Emerging market countries are faced with higher risks from capital outflows and exchange rate fluctuations, and their positions in the international economy and financial system are now more complicated and difficult. External shocks may intensify RMB exchange rate fluctuations and will discourage people in the market motivated by interest arbitrage to hold RMB. The third challenge: there is a discrepancy between the pace of interest rate liberalization and reform of the RMB exchange rate. Significant differences between onshore and offshore prices for RMB greatly stimulate exchange and interest rate arbitrage and divert the planned course of RMB internationalization away from its focus on the real economyCountermeasures and SuggestionsRelevant policies for cross-border use of the RMB have been greatly improved and various channels for capital flows have been established. In particular, investment and financing products in RMB have been gradually diversified, and the process and procedures for account settlement have been made more convenient. Individuals and enterprises can take full advantage of the low RMB interest rate in offshore markets to effectively allocate resources and reduce investment and financing costs. Furthermore, it is suggested that more attention be paid to the 人大重阳研究报告发布第 3 期 11中国人民大学重阳金融研究院中国人民大学国际货币研究所Dynamics and Prospects of Major International Currencies2013 witnessed strong momentum in the world economic recovery. The US economy experienced better than expected growth and began to taper QE, causing the US dollar to make a strong return. The eurozone did not escape its economic troubles, and the scale of euro use in trade and financial transactions dropped off. Vigorously stimulated by “Abenomics”, Japans trade surplus expanded and the internationalization of the yen has remained static since 2012. The pound sterling internationalization index declined slightly due to persistent concerns about the British economy.recent change in the RMB exchange rate to bi-directional fluctuations. Appropriate work should be done to hedge against foreign exchange risks.Following the increased level of RMB internationalization, offshore financial markets may become an important location for transnational corporations to allocate RMB capital. It is suggested that Chinese financial institutions seize this opportunity to speed up the pace of going out into global markets, strengthen efforts to innovate the cross-border trade of RMB, bridge the gap between Chinese and foreign financial institutions and upgrade international competitiveness.A number of reforms including liberalization of the capital account implemented by the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone put a higher demand on monetary policy authorities and financial regulators to provide institutional support for RMB internationalization. At present it is suggested that close attention be paid to reforming financial institutions, setting a clear path for the interest rate system as soon as possible, to establishing linkages between the interest rate and exchange rate and to allowing the market play a decisive role in the pricing of the RMB. At the same time, in-depth research into the problem of how to effectively protect national industries related to national security and core competitiveness and how to effectively prevent systemic financial crisis should be conducted during the process of opening to the outside.US Dollar In 2013, the US economy maintained a weak recovery but saw overall better than expected economic growth with improvement in employment, recovering consumption and rapid growth in private investments and exports. The tapering of QE by the Fed caused global capital to accelerate the return to the US market, further boosting the demand for the US dollar. In addition to continuous expansion in international credit a
