China's central bank, BIS set up yuan liquidity arrangement
China’s central bank said on Saturday (Jun 25) it had signed an agreement with the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) to establish a Renminbi Liquidity Arrangement (RMBLA) that will provide support to participating central banks in times of market fluctuations.
The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) said the arrangement’s first participants, in addition to the PBOC, would include Bank Indonesia, the Central Bank of Malaysia, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Central Bank of Chile.
Each participant will contribute a minimum of 15 billion yuan (S$3.1 billion) or the US dollar equivalent, it said. The BIS said in a separate statement that the funds could be contributed either in yuan or US dollars, and that they would be placed with the BIS, creating a reserve pool. Reuters
