（第八届进博会）全球化智库副主任高志凯：建议在进博会框架下推动人民币跨境结算

Core Viewpoint - The suggestion to promote cross-border settlement in Renminbi (RMB) within the framework of the China International Import Expo (CIIE) aims to enhance the use of RMB in international trade, which currently stands at only about 3% [1][2]. Group 1: Current Situation - The proportion of RMB in international settlements is approximately 3%, which is inconsistent with China's status as a major global trading nation [1]. - China's manufacturing sector accounts for about one-third of global production, yet the low percentage of RMB in international settlements highlights a significant mismatch [1]. Group 2: Recommendations - It is proposed to develop a roadmap to encourage the use of RMB for settlements at the CIIE, with a target to increase the RMB settlement ratio to 25% to 30% in a relatively short time [1]. - The CIIE could focus on key commodity sectors, such as allowing transactions for Norwegian salmon to be settled in RMB [1]. Group 3: Integration with Digital Currency - The integration of RMB internationalization with the development of digital RMB is suggested, emphasizing the need to combine efforts for both import and export payments using RMB [1]. - The gradual exploration of these initiatives is expected to enhance trade facilitation and help RMB evolve into an international transaction, payment, and reserve currency [2].
