To minimize the risk of spreading the coronavirus, the captioned seminar
scheduled on 28th July will be conducted in the format of a webinar. Upon
successful registration, registrants will receive a confirmation email with a
specific link to access the webinar 2 days before the seminar.
China
has already developed and launched the digital Renminbi in some cities and the
digital Renminbi is for domestic retail payment purposes.
Of even greater relevance
to Hong Kong now is what would be the further development of digital Renminbi
besides its being used as e money. Could digital Renminbi be used for cross
border interbank payments? Just in case cross border interbank payments could
not be ruled out as a possible option, what would be the implications for banks
in the Greater Bay Area (GBA)? How would the digital Renminbi be transmitted
across the border and by what means could the banks in Hong Kong acquire the
digital Renminbi?
Against this background,
TMA is delighted to have invited Mr Esmond LEE, CEO, Euroclear Bank Hong Kong
Branch, to discuss with Members all these possibilities.
