***REGISTRATION REQUIRED*** YCW Beijing is delighted to invite you to a talk by Dr. Li Lingfeng with Capula Investment Management LLP. Dr. Li will talk about the challenges and opportunities brought about by RMB internationalization. The key driver of the RMB offshore market development is arbitrage between onshore and offshore markets. Dr. Li will cover current developments in the RMB offshore market and how they affect the onshore market. Does the strategy of gradual appreciation of the RMB by the Chinese authorities narrow the spread of arbitrage in the RMB offshore market–even as the scale of arbitrage increases? Dr. Li will also give us a brief history and analysis of the current ecosystem of RMB internationalization.
