Event Summary
In 2015, China launched the Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) to clear and settle transactions in renminbi and facilitate the use of the currency in international business. This Financial Statements session will explore the role and significance of CIPS, its potential to compete with globally integrated financial infrastructure—such as SWIFT—and erode the worldwide primacy of the US dollar, and how financial sanctions against Russia might impact it.
