The authorities are focusing on developing infrastructure to increase the currency's role in global financing, investment, and as a reserve currency. This includes expanding available investment products and financial instruments, improving borrowing conditions for renminbi-denominated bonds, and enhancing liquidity and financing channels. China is also working to improve the renminbi's role in global portfolios and capital flows.",
