摘要
2009年7月,中国当局允许在跨境贸易中使用人民币结算。之后跨境贸易人民币结算量迅速增长,可以说人民币的国际化迈出了一大步。但就目前来看,人民币结算仅限于经常项目和一部分资本项目,尽管人民币交易在香港已较自由,但达到"国际化"程度还尚须时日。中国当局允许跨境贸易人民币结算的目的之一是摆脱过度依赖美元。在人民币完全实现"国际化"之前,推动货币多元化是一种次善之策,而日中间贸易结算使用日元对两国也是一种选择。
The Chinese authorities started to allow cross-border settlements by renminbi in July 2009. Since then, the volume of cross-border renminbi transactions has grown rapidly, marking a big step towards internationalization of the currency. But at present, cross-border settlements are only limited to transactions under the current accounts and some capital accounts. Although renminbi transactions are already common in Hong Kong, it will take a long time for the currency to be 'internationalized'. One of the objectives of the Chinese authorities in allowing cross-border renminbi settlements is to shake off the dependence on the US dollars. Before the internationalization of renminbi is fully realized, it is the second best choice for China to diversify currencies used in trade transactions. Using the Japanese yen as the settlement currency for bilateral trade between China and Japan could be a viable option for the two major economies.
