HSBC has been voted best overall provider of offshore renminbi (RMB) products and services in Asiamoney’s Offshore RMB Poll 2017, underpinning its leadership in offshore RMB services as it takes the crown for the sixth consecutive year.
“HSBC has been at the forefront of the internationalisation of the RMB for over a decade and we are thus honoured to be recognised as the leader in RMB services for the sixth consecutive year,” reflected Helen Wong, Chief Executive, Greater China, HSBC.
“As China’s capital markets continue to liberalise with the upcoming launch of Bond Connect and the development of the Belt and Road Initiative expected to drive the global use of RMB in trade and investment, the needs of our clients are becoming more diversified and more complex. We are immensely grateful for their recognition and will continue to harness innovation, collaboration and trust to ensure we are meeting our clients’ needs as we navigate through evolving markets together.”
This year’s poll received 2,379 valid responses from corporates, financial institutions and investors, an 18 per cent increase from 2016.
