How PNC Can Help You Succeed in China
China is a key trading counterparty for many countries and is an important market for many companies around the world. As the economic influence of China and its currency - the renminbi (RMB) - on international commerce grows, PNC offers solutions and resources to help you succeed in this vital market.
We can help you take advantage of the growing role of the RMB in international trade with hedging tools and payment options to help you manage risk, improve your competitive position, and increase profitability. In addition, PNC’s Shanghai Representative Office provides support and insight to help U.S. companies navigate the day-to-day challenges of doing business in a changing China.
A Strategic Approach to Your China Business
According to SWIFT, renminbi is currently the sixth largest global payments currency, making it an increasingly significant component of international trade.[1]
Pay in local currency to potentially lower your costs and improve payment terms.
- The administrative cost of paying in US dollars can be 2% to 3% higher than dealing in local currency.
- Suppliers who invoice in renminbi no longer have to build in a buffer for potential exchange rate movements.
- A highly liquid renminbi forward market facilitates hedging your currency risk.
- Easily use renminbi in payments in and out of China.
- Make spot and forward payments in renminbi.
- Purchase and sell renminbi on behalf of companies doing business in China.
- Structure deliverable forward hedges denominated in renminbi for payment into mainland China.
Take advantage of cost reduction while managing currency risk.
- Increase the effectiveness and decrease the overall cost of hedging with deliverable forward and option strategies.
- Manage onshore renminbi (CNY) exposures through non-deliverable forwards.
- Hedge renminbi payables or receivables readily in a highly liquid market to keep the cost of hedging low.
