TAKING ADVANTAGE OF CANADA'S NEW RMB HUB
China's march toward economic superpower status continues unabated. The Mainland now boasts the world's second largest economy by GDP, while the use of renminbi for global payments continues to accelerate. Canada's establishment of the first RMB trading hub in the Americas will provide a conduit to facilitate 24‐hour coverage for global RMB transactions. Gain unique insight into the opportunities this development brings for Canada's financial community by joining Bloomberg and the Toronto Financial Services Alliance (TFSA) for this special event. International RMB experts will examine the latest developments in depth, discuss how economic growth in China might translate into trading and investment opportunities, while revealing where best to allocate your portfolio among Chinese stocks and bonds.
