Taiwan surpasses RMB100bn in offshore RMB deposits in a month

Tremendous response from the market.

According to BBVA, a number of media outlets in Taiwan reported that offshore RMB (CNT) deposits among domestic banking units (DBU) of qualified Taiwanese banks have surpassed RMB 10bn, only one month since the commencement of CNT business, which kicked off on February 6.

"The size of the CNT market is much smaller compared to the CNH market (which was RMB 624bn by the end of January). Nevertheless, the market’s growth momentum is impressive given that it took about ten months for offshore RMB deposits in Hong Kong to surpass RMB 10bn when the CNH market was launched in February 2004," said BBVA.

"Relatively higher RMB deposit rates in the CNT market, along with the transfer of offshore RMB from other offshore RMB centers to Taiwan are likely the drivers. Looking ahead, a gradual increase in the use of RMB for cross-strait trade settlements, and the eventual utilization of a RMB 100bn RQFII quota for Taiwanese investors (which is under consideration by the CSRC), would further boost offshore RMB deposits in Taiwan," it added.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
