According to the Central Bank's 2026 Report on the Internationalization of the RMB, the forthcoming strategy will focus on accelerating the internationalization of the RMB. This will involve optimizing the fundamental institutional frameworks governing the cross-border use of the RMB, tailored to meet market demands and to adequately support transaction settlements, investment and financing activities, and risk management. Concurrently, efforts will be intensified to further open up financial markets, bolster Shanghai's development as an international financial hub, reinforce and elevate Hong Kong's standing as a global financial center, and upgrade financial infrastructure. These measures aim to strike a balance between financial openness and security.
