The country will gradually develop overseas financial activities involving yuan, Wen said at the opening of the annual session of the National People's Congress (NPC).

China will also continue to improve the mechanism for setting the yuan exchange rate, said Wen.

China launched pilot yuan settlements in cross-border trade in July last year in its eastern economic hub Shanghai and four cities in south Guangdong province, including Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Dongguan.
