TREE NEWS update: The People’s Bank of China released its 2026 RMB internationalization report, pledging to further improve the basic institutional framework for cross-border RMB use to meet demand for settlement, investment, financing and risk management. The PBOC also said it will deepen financial market opening, support Shanghai as an international financial center, back offshore RMB markets and reinforce Hong Kong’s role, while balancing openness with financial security.
China Central Bank Pledges Deeper RMB Cross-Border Use in 2026 Internationalization Report
The emphasis on building out settlement, investment, financing and risk-management plumbing matters less for headline flows than for institutions that already invoice or fund in RMB and need hedging and custody to work reliably. Naming Shanghai and Hong Kong together signals the onshore hub and offshore centre are meant to complement rather than compete. The open question is whether the simultaneous push on financial security constrains how far market opening actually goes.
