Malaysia is the first Asian country to establish a Renminbi Clearing Bank; other branches have been opened in Frankfurt (Germany), Paris (France), and Sydney (Australia).
Addressing the event, Najib said as a China’s largest trading partner in ASEAN, his country is willing to promote the Chinese currency. The bank is expected to help the city become a financial hub in ASEAN.
The Prime Minister said Malaysia’s Central Bank (Bank Negara Malaysia) selected the People’s Bank of China to open the Renminbi Clearing Bank in Kuala Lumpur.
