Taiwan includes renminbi in central bank forex reserves

Recognizes globalization of the renminbi.

The Central Bank of the Republic of China is holding Chinese renminbi in its foreign exchange reserves portfolio in recognition of the currency’s importance in cross strait trade, said Governor Perng Fai-nan,.

Trade and financial ties on both sides have risen since last year after a renminbi clearing settlement deal was signed. Taiwan aims to become an offshore renminbi trading hub similar to Hong Kong and Singapore.

Perng said there is a realistic need to do so since China has the biggest forex reserves in the world. Mainland China cross-straits trade with Taiwan has reached US$160 billion and China is Taiwan's biggest export market.

Perng did not give details on the size of Taiwan’s renminbi holdings. Taiwan has the world's fourth-biggest forex reserves, standing at US$409.4 billion in August.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
