The Pakistan’s cabinet has approved the issuance of first-ever renminbi-denominated bonds (Panda Bonds) to raise loans from the China’s capital markets.
With this, Pakistan has moved a step forward to give the Chinese currency a status at par with the US dollar.
The bonds will help the government to diversify the investor base of capital market issuance and provide a source of raising Renminbi, the Chinese Currency.
This is being done so that Pakistan can finance its yawning trade deficit with Beijing.
