According to the company’s website news release on October 24, 2022, China's central bank and foreign exchange regulator on Tuesday raised the cross-border macro prudential adjustment ratio for corporates and financial institutions, making it easier for domestic firms to raise funds from overseas markets.
The People's Bank of China (PBOC) said in a statement it raised a parameter on cross-border corporate financing under its macro-prudential assessments to 1.25 from 1.
Tuesday's move will "increase the sources of cross-border funds for enterprises and financial institutions, and guide them to optimise the asset-liability structure," the PBOC said in the statement posted on its website.
The move, which reverses a previous adjustment in 2021 to tighten overseas financing, comes at a time the Chinese yuan CNY=CFXS faces renewed depreciation pressure. Allowing more capital inflows could alleviate such downside pressure.
The yuan has lost 13% against a buoyant dollar so far and looks set for the biggest annual drop since 1994, when China unified market and official rates.
