Uncertainty in the offshore Renminbi (RMB) market continued as a theme in 2016 following the August 2015 devaluation in the reference rate. The move had repercussions on currency expectations, capital flows and domestic monetary policy. In this context, Asset Benchmark Research conducted a survey on behalf of Standard Chartered Bank to provide constructive feedback on offshore RMB usage patterns, operational challenges and the outlook for the currency.

The project took place over a 3-week period in August and surveyed 161 treasurers and senior treasury/finance executives from Asia, Europe and the US concerning their usage of and attitude towards the RMB.

去年8月中国央行实施的汇改令人民币大幅贬值。而此次改革更是在人民币预期、资本流动与中国货币政策方面产生了深远的影响。2016年，人民币的主题依旧是离岸市场的不确定性。在此背景下，渣打银行（Standard Chartered Bank）委托《财资》旗下的《财资》基准研究（Asset Benchmark Research）进行了一项问卷调查，旨在为离岸人民币的使用模式、运营上的挑战以及人民币的前景提供建设性意见。

本次调查在8月份启动，历时3周，对161位来自亚洲、欧洲和美国的司库及高级财务/金融主管就其对人民币的使用情况及态度进行了调查。
