The cross-border trade RMB settlement pilot, as a key component of China's global financial strategy, has been operational for six months and is gradually gaining momentum. This initiative has significantly contributed to trade facilitation and financial innovation, particularly in Guangdong, a major foreign trade province. By mid-February 2010, Guangdong had processed 5.565 billion yuan in cross-border RMB transactions, accounting for 52% of the national total.
Despite the positive start, challenges remain. The number of participating enterprises is still limited, with only around 80 companies actively involved out of an initial list of 273. The overall transaction volume is small compared to Guangdong’s massive trade scale, and there are still gaps in the enthusiasm of local businesses to use RMB and the acceptance of RMB by overseas partners.
Hong Kong and Macao have emerged as key frontiers for the pilot. For example, Guangzhou Jinxing Textile Bleaching and Dyeing Co. reported saving nearly 1 million yuan through the RMB settlement pilot in 2009. Companies like Guangzhou Iron and Steel Enterprise Group Jinhao International Trade Co. have also benefited from increased flexibility in currency choice, reduced exchange rate risks, and improved fund management efficiency.
As of February 2010, Guangdong accounted for 52% of the national cross-border RMB transactions, with 567 settlements totaling 5.565 billion yuan. The People’s Bank of China’s Guangzhou Branch highlighted that the RMB has become a “hard currency†in Hong Kong, Macao, Southeast Asia, and even within ASEAN. This natural advantage makes it easier for companies to adopt RMB in trade.
The Bank of China Guangdong Branch has handled over 3.5 billion yuan in RMB cross-border transactions for nearly 100 local enterprises, capturing nearly 55% of the market (excluding Shenzhen). The bank has also introduced innovative products such as cross-border RMB export financing and Guangdong-Hong Kong letters of credit to enhance the appeal of RMB settlement.
However, three main challenges persist: limited participation from SMEs, cumbersome approval processes, and weak enterprise control over currency selection. While large firms often receive quicker approvals, many SMEs face long delays. Additionally, while Chinese companies are eager to use RMB, overseas customers—especially in regions like South America—still prefer USD due to lack of RMB recognition.
Experts suggest that for the RMB to gain more traction, China must accelerate its financial innovation, expand the RMB’s presence in international markets, and support high-value exports. They also recommend improving the selection process for pilot enterprises and simplifying procedures to encourage broader participation.
Overall, the RMB settlement pilot represents a critical step in the internationalization of the Chinese currency, but continued efforts are needed to ensure its long-term success and widespread adoption.
