Playing an active role in China's opening-up

Standard Chartered is fully embracing the opportunities brought by RMB internationalization and the Belt and Road Initiative

Celebrating its 160th anniversary in China this year, Standard Chartered is looking to play an active role in the country's further opening-up to foreign investors.

"First and foremost, among the things we have identified as critical for our future is to play a very active role in the ongoing opening of China. By that we mean the internationalization of the renminbi, and also the opening-up of the Chinese economy and capital to development in other parts of the world, most notably along the Belt and Road routes," said Bill Winters, group CEO at Standard Chartered.
