Eddie Amin, head of Trading & Capital Markets, at SEB in Shanghai says: "Most of our target clients in China have exposures in RMB. With this additional product they will be able to hedge their forward foreign exchange exposures more effectively. As the RMB FX markets develop in China, SEB will play an increasing role to help our clients in finding new solutions to hedge their financial risks".
Carl Christensson, general manager at SEB in Shanghai says: "Since the establishment of our Shanghai branch, we have a very positive momentum in expanding our product offering to our clients in China, and will continue to introduce more products and services during the year. The next step is to get approval for RMB FX Swaps from SAFE".
