The Hong Kong Monetary Authority Chief Executive Joseph Yam in his once a week Thursday post "Viewpoint" that there are signals that other than the use of RMB in China has advanced and is looked frontwards to to use his foreign step-by-step increase.

Following is the full text of Mr Joseph Yam, views Comments:

"When a currency outside the country which are widely used, generally referred to as regional or international currency. Basically, this means that other than the currency in the country also play a unit of account, medium of exchange and store of value functions, such as denominated as a cross-border trade in units, and other reserve currency of the anchor currency. But what factors will lead to a currency other than in their use of it? foremost, of course, the currency must be regarded as very strong, with market participants must be willing to hold the currency for the value of storage. At the same time, the currency to be freely convertible, so that can also hold non-national residents.

Clearly, multi-currency are in line with these criteria, but only a small number can become a rightly global currency, which ought consequently in addition include other factors. Economies of scale is one of the factors. A large and competent fiscal subdivision in trade and open monetary procedure, it will in a natural manner have a large number of foreign exchange transactions. These transactions include a least part of the restricted currency. In augmentation, a large-scale, open and sound fiscal markets is evenly valued because it can give enough restricted currency-denominated assets, in rank to get concurrently the wants of global investors. In augmentation, the economists in addition incisive out that the so-called "network externalities" is in addition very important. When the nations other than their own economic procedure in the use of the currency, it will slowly configuration a kind of inertia, we will carry on to use the currency for global transactions.

Only a few in the history of the currency to obtain the status of the International Monetary true. After the end of the Second World War, although from time to time on the U.S. losing its dominant position of international speculation and discussion, the dollar has been the world's main reserve currency. In recent years the euro has become the second most widely-used international currency, the euro, some people predict it will challenge the status of U.S. dollars, the future development of a "polarization" situation. To a certain extent, the emergence of the euro can be regarded as the German mark an extension of a widely accepted, and certainly the introduction of the euro currency in order to survive and multiply in the expanded space. This shows that the major currencies in international trade and the importance of financial transactions will gradually evolve over time, but the evolution of the process is relatively slow.

In the worldwide fiscal critical purpose, the What is the best procedure of global monetary guideline one time over become the purpose of discussion. With the ever-increasing monetary might, Asia has many capability in the future concurrently with Europe and America commanded the world to become valued drivers of monetary growth. In this, as some population cited to a "three-polarization" of the worldwide surroundings in the long run, more satisfactory to the global monetary procedure should consider the divergent territories in the worldwide economic procedure, the value of the structure, hence augmenting to the adoption of trade and financial endeavour distribute risk, and endorse worldwide fiscal stability.

As one of the world's largest economies and trading nations, China will continue the rapid development of global trade and production as a significant force. On the other hand, in July 2005 the RMB exchange rate formation mechanism reform, the RMB exchange rate flexibility has increased. At the same time, there are indications that the RMB outside the mainland of China has increased, despite the current use of the yuan is limited to close contact with Mainland China's surrounding areas, but there is still a relatively limited scale.

As a many expansion capability and energetically endorse open economic procedure monetary currency, the yuan in the mainland exterior a progressive advance in the use of natural. However, I trust the RMB and other positions in the territory are extensively employed will be a step-by-step method to assure that the capability threats are suitably managed. In this view, Hong Kong gives an faultless investigate place, will help assure a flat unclasping evaluates connected to the flat progress. - 22787
