The UK’s sole renminbi-clearing institution is an essential conduit to potentially staggering amounts

Yang Aimin, who has run the UK operations of China’s second-largest lender since 2018, said last week he is targeting double-digit clearing volume growth in 2022 after it grew 18% last year to ¥11.9-trillion. He is also expecting the business of servicing Chinese companies listed in London to grow. But Yang remains hopeful on the outlook for closer financial ties, saying one way the UK could encourage more investment is to allow renminbi bonds to be accepted as collateral in UK markets. That could bolster the amount of renminbi holdings and promote more trading in all types of yuan assets.

And London remains a relative minnow when it comes to offshore renminbi trades. Hong Kong dominates with three-quarters of the market with the UK in second place on 6.6%, ahead of Singapore’s 3.3% share, according to data compiled by the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication .It’s a familiar challenge for Yang, who spent his early career at CCB promoting the use of renminbi interest rate swaps, a hedging tool common in global markets that didn’t exist in China until 2006.
