Renminbi-denominated deposits in Taiwan fall in June

First monthly drop since OBU scheme began July 2011.

Renminbi-denominated deposits through the offshore banking unit (OBU) scheme in June reached US$117.8 billion, down US$244 million or 4.7%. It is the first month-on-month decline since the Financial Supervisory Commission approved the OBU scheme in July 2011. The government reported the reduction ended the steady growth of renminbi-denominated deposits.

OBUs are offshore branches of banks that have received approval to operate banking and other financial services in a foreign host country. Bankers said the decline in renminbi-denominated OBU deposits was due to the policy-driven credit crunch imposed in China in late June.

The crunch resulted in fund withdrawals by China-based Taiwanese enterprises for urgent needs. Taiwan’s central bank stated that since August 2011, renminbi-denominated OBU deposits have grown steadily from US$116 million to a high of US$118 billion recorded in May.

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.
