英闻天下——241 UAE Top Lender Launches Chinese RMB Accounts（在线收听） |
Emirates NBD, the biggest lender by assets in the United Arab Emirates, has launched Renminbi-denominated accounts and deposits. The bank says the move is meant to help small and medium enterprises in the Kingdom which do business with China.
There are currently around 3-thousand Chinese companies doing business in the Gulf state.
Other foreign lenders with operations in the UAE, such as HSBC and Standard Chartered, also offer Renminbi-based trade financing services.
China and the UAE signed a currency swap agreement worth 35 billion Renminbi last year.
Bilateral trade between China and the UAE hit 15.6 billion U.S. dollars in 2012.
