updates: The yuan is facing its highest level of capital outflow in eight years, with China experiencing trailing 12-month net capital outflows of US$139 billion as of May 2024. Hong Kong has played a role in preventing concordant levels of depreciation by facilitating offshore yuan remittances to mainland China. The currency's foreign settlement ratio has dropped to 60%, the lowest level since 2017. Factors contributing to the trend include large differentials between the US and China, weak confidence in China's economic outlook, and perceptions of geopolitical risk. Despite the depreciation pressures, Hong Kong has observed a sizeable level of foreign currency conversion into the yuan and increasing remittances of yuan into mainland China. Monthly yuan remittances from Hong Kong to mainland China surged 117% from US$588 billion in September 2023 to US$1.28 trillion in April 2024. Huang Yiping, dean of Peking University's National School of Development, has highlighted Hong Kong's role as an international financial center and an apt platform to help the yuan go global. Huang also emphasized the need to uphold financial stability and security in developing and promoting Hong Kong's offshore market. The People's Bank of China (PBOC) has expressed support for the development of the offshore yuan market and the interconnection between the financial markets of the mainland and Hong Kong.
