The Aporia · Hong Kong’s yuan pool is growing. Can it turn liquidity into global demand?

Eddie Yue Wai-man, chief executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, urged banks to leverage their global networks to expand the use of the Chinese currency in international finance. The current pool of offshore yuan liquidity is growing, but regulators want to see it converted into global demand. According to Yue, there will be no cap on the quota for this facility as long as existing capacity is utilized and demand increases. Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission chief executive Julia Leung Fung-yee also highlighted the need for more yield-bearing and risk-hedging products to support wider international use of the yuan.
