The Global Offshore RMB Funding Forum

Following its successful launch in 2011, Euromoney is delighted to announce the 2nd Global Offshore RMB Funding Forum will be held on 23 May 2012 in Hong Kong.

The first Offshore RMB Funding Forum was a great success, attracted over 700 attendees including senior funding officials and institutional investors from over 18 countries. Keynote speakers included Julia Leung, Under Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury for the Government of Hong Kong SAR and Shi Wenchao, the Secretary General and Executive Vice President for the National Association of Financial Market Institutional Investors (NAFMII).

A record $23.7bn of offshore renminbi bonds were sold in 2011, with forecasts predicting double this amount for 2012. With a global “hard landing” dominating headlines in 2012, will the pricing of offshore renminbi become volatile? How will a slower RMB appreciation impact the market? With investors becoming more sensitive to credit quality and seeking additional protection, how will the credit rating agencies adapt to these demands? Baosteel became the first Chinese company to directly issue bonds in the offshore renminbi market last year, will it open the door for an increase in Chinese companies tapping the offshore market? Will the RQFII open doors to higher yields.

This groundbreaking event will again bring together the policymakers, borrowers, investors and intermediaries of the offshore renminbi bond market. With a mix of lively panels and in depth workshops, the forum will provide a unique platform to look at the future of the renminbi market and the global economy, just the right time of the year.

There is no better place to hear from policymakers, industry peers and help form the future of this market than the Euromoney Global Offshore RMB Funding Forum. Join us on Wednesday 23 May 2012 in Hong Kong.
