Thank you to all our sponsors, speakers, delegates and endorsing partners for making the 3rd Annual RMB Rising conference a great success. FinanceAsia and AsianInvestor started off the year with an excellent turnout of 22 top-tier speakers and 277 delegates representing over 170 companies across 6 countries convene at the conference on 12 January 2012. The recent announcement by Beijing about the new guidelines for RMB-qualified foreign institutional investors (RQFII) produced a high degree of excitement and interest amongst financial professionals, institutional investors, and corporates alike. Opening the summit was Dr. Meiji Fong, advisor to China People’s Party Consultative Conference (CPPCC), who outlined the importance of both the international and Chinese context to the development of the yuan’s internationalization. Ann Lin Khoo, J.P. Morgan Treasury Services, then addressed, “Cross border RMB trade settlements – opportunities and challenges”. Talking about “FX Strategies in CNH”, Paul Mackel, HSBC, cautioned that more volatility can be expected from the RMB, but assured the audience that the yuan remains one of the preferred Asian currencies in 2012. Concluding with an intense and interactive debate between panelists and audience on “Achieving full RMB convertibility” were Veronique Lafon-Vinais, HK University of Science and Technology (HKUST), who chaired the discussion between panelists Andrew Leung, Andrew Leung International Consultants; Sean Craig, International Monetary Fund (IMF); Zhen Gao, Mandarin Capital Partners, and Diana Choyleva, Lombard Street Research.
