Renminbi Roundtable 2017 | Infopro Digital | 28 September 2017 | Moltkes Palace, Copenhagen , Dronningens Tværgade 2 1302 København K Denmark

Our series of renminbi roundtables have come a long way since they were launched in 2014 - and so has renminbi. There has been the inclusion by the IMF of renminbi in the Special Drawing Right (SDR) basket and most recently the announcement that the European Central Bank has switched 500 million euros worth of its US dollar reserve to Chinese Yuan for the first time.
The ECB is the most powerful central bank to date to invest in renminbi. This purchase reflects the need to develop closer ties with China, one of Europe's largest trading partners, and acceptance of its position as a global super-economy. Is this switch from US dollar to renminbi a sign of things to come? China is making efforts to erode the dominance of the dollar and establish the renminbi as one of the world's leading international currencies but from a practical reserve manager's point of view questions remain on the convertibility, depth, issuer quality and market infrastructure.
