On Oct. 29, Dr. Li spoke for YCW Beijing about the challenges and opportunities brought about by RMB internationalization. The key driver of the RMB offshore market development is arbitrage between onshore and offshore markets. Dr. Li covered current developments in the RMB offshore market and how they affect the onshore market. Does the strategy of gradual appreciation of the RMB by the Chinese authorities narrow the spread of arbitrage in the RMB offshore market–even as the scale of arbitrage increases? Dr. Li also shared us a brief history and analysis of the current ecosystem of RMB internationalization.
