人民币是中华人民共和国的法定货币，其字面含义为“人民的货币”。 人民币简称为CNY（China Yuan），常用的缩写是RMB（Renminbi），离岸交易代码为CNH。不管人民币的代码是什么，有一件事是肯定的：人民币一定会存在，而且它正在改变整个世界开展业务的方式。

2005年，人民币汇率告别长达10年的紧盯美元的固定汇率体制，而进入了有管理的浮动汇率制度，并确定了人民币汇率的市场化取向。人民币放弃了与美元挂钩，引入参考一篮子货币。2011年3月，原国务院总理温家宝表示，中国将继续逐步增加汇率的灵活性。2011年8月，中华人民共和国财政部在香港举行人民币国债在港发行仪式，国务院副总理李克强出席仪式并启动发行。2013年9月，国务院总理李克强在出席夏季达沃斯论坛上提到关于金融改革的细节，誓言全面改革目前由国家主导的金融机构、放开利率管制，并最终让人民币实现完全可兑换。他表示，他领导的政府意在“积极稳妥地推进利率、汇率的市场化”，并“逐步推进人民币资本项下可兑换”。

拉尼.亚卡斯（Rani Jarkas）是一名世界知名的企业家和银行家，他在一次主题演讲中表示，“我相信中国将扩大人民币的使用范围，人民币在国与国之间的贸易来往中已越来越受青睐，越来越多的国家和地区已加入到争夺人民币离岸中心的行列之中。随着时间的推移，人民币将逐渐代替美元成为贸易结算货币。随着中国经济的持续增长，我坚信人民币将在未来五年之内成为极具竞争力的储备货币。”

The renminbi is the official currency of the People’s Republic of China. The name literally means “people’s currency”. “Renminbi” or RMB, is also called the Chinese Yuan or CNY, and the CNH when traded offshore. Whichever name it answers to, one thing is certain: the RMB is here to stay, and it’s changing the way the world does business.

In 2005, the value of the renminbi was pegged to the U.S. dollar. Since 2006, the renminbi exchange rate has been allowed to float in a narrow margin around a fixed base rate determined with reference to a basket of world currencies. In March 2011, the Former Premier Wen Jiabao said that China would continue to gradually increase the flexibility of its exchange rate. In August 2011, Vice Premier Li Keqiang started launch ceremony of RMB sovereign bonds in HK. In September 2013, Li Keqiang, who took over as Premier in March, vowed to overhaul state-dominated financial institutions, liberalise interest rates and eventually make the renminbi freely convertible in a sweeping restatement of the newly installed government’s economic reform agenda. He said his government intended to take “gradual and active steps towards market-based interest rates and the exchange rate of the renminbi,” and “gradually achieve full convertibility of the renminbi under the capital account”.

Rani Jarkas, a world-renowned entrepreneur and a banking expert, said in his keynote presentation, “I truly believe that China is positioning the renminbi to become the world’s next reserve currency by gaining a wide distribution of the renminbi, replacing the dollar in terms of trade between many countries, and adding more countries to that list as time goes by. As China’s economic rise continues, so too does its desire to have an internationally recognised and utilised currency. I firmly believe that the Renminbi will become a competitive reserve currency within the next 5 years.”
