“The Chinese government announced that the renminbi will become directly convertible with the Singapore dollar… effective tomorrow morning. It’s clear this deal has been in the works for a while, and it’s another major step towards the continued internationalization of the renminbi and unseating of the dollar as the world’s dominant reserve currency. For decades the renminbi has been a tightly controlled currency. It’s only been in the last few years that the Chinese government started loosening those controls, primarily in response to the obvious need for a dollar competitor. China is taking the lead in providing the world with another option.”
