Asiamoney Global RMB Poll 2019

The renminbi's internationalisation may have taken a back seat for now, but its importance continues to rise among global corporations

China’s push to internationalize its currency may have taken a back seat to domestic reform, but the renminbi continues to rise in importance among global corporations. Asiamoney’s eighth Global RMB Poll received responses from 2,039 different corporations, an increase of 8.6% from the previous year.

Not every corporation voted just once. The importance of renminbi services to treasurers, CFOs and other executives meant the total number of valid responses was 2,134 this year, compared with 2,026 in the previous year.

Respondents were asked to nominate their top three service providers in 16 different categories, including overall onshore RMB products and services (split between a general result and one limited to Chinese providers only) and overall offshore RMB products and services.

The following awards were given separate categories in the CNH and CNY markets: transaction banking and treasury management, derivatives, research and analysis, bond syndication, advisory, foreign exchange, and sales and solutions.

These results were then combined into the award for best overall global RMB products and services.

Voters came from a wide range of countries, although perhaps unsurprisingly most were from Asia. Companies from China accounted for 32.03% of responses, from Hong Kong for 21.97%, Japan for 10.94%, Taiwan for 9.51% and Singapore for 4.36%. The poll also garnered responses from Australia, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, the US and the UK.
