Too much experimentation in RMB journey, argues Asia-Analytica's Loong

The acceleration of renminbi globalisation suggested by this year's flurry of offshore RMB clearing bank appointments does not mean that China is abandoning its approach of gradual experimentation, say analysts. In fact, the country's encouragement of multiple silos is in keeping with the classical Deng Xiaoping method of "crossing the river by feeling the stones", says Pauline Loong of Asia-Analytica.
