China plans to make the renminbi capital account convertible by the end of this year, the central bank Governor Zhou Xiaochuan said during the China Development Forum in Beijing on March 22, when he met chief executive officers from the world's top business groups.
That means Chinese residents could directly invest in equity and financial products in overseas markets and foreign residents' investment needs on the Chinese mainland will also be satisfied.
Wu Xiaoguang, a researcher at the People's Bank of China, wrote in a report that further opening of China's financial system needs more high-quality professional information in the global markets, which is directly involved with investors' interests.
"The internationalization of financial information services is an irresistible trend, which also provides new and great development opportunities for global service providers," said Wu.
He suggested that the country improve regulations and supervision on international financial information service companies to ensure a fair financial market environment.
Bloomberg LP has recently expanded its Chinese news team to enhance its capability to provide timely market-moving news and insights for global investors.
