London has become the first European city to trade an RMB
denominated money market mutual fund. Wednesday's start was seen as
another major move by London to support the Chinese currency after the
UK announced its decision to join the China-sponsored Asian
Infrastructure Investment Bank.
The RMB denominated money market ETF was released by China Construction Bank. It's the first such fund issued by a Chinese bank, marking a major breakthrough on the RBM's internationalization process in Europe.
A milestone was established as China Construction Bank released its first money market ETF in London.
"This breakthrough will give a boost to the RMB internationalisation process in London and Europe," said Hu Zhanghong, president of CCB International.
Official agencies in the UK have welcomed the yuan product. That includes the UK Treasury, UK Trade & Investment, the Financial Conduct Authority, and the London Stock Exchange.
The money market fund is priced under the yuan, the euro and the pound, with HSBC providing custodian services. The fund is expected to start the circulation of some 25 billion worth of RMB deposits in London, and help build a complete ecological environment for the yuan to thrive in the European continent.
