  4. How far has RMB come?  RMB as World Payments Currency March 2015 March 2017" That decrease in payments may be attributed to a convergence of events, including the slowdown of the Chinese economy, the volatility of the CNY exchange rate and regulatory measures on capital outflows. Despite the slowdown, the CNY remains a strong currency for payments, and RMB internationalisation will continue to benefit from major financial infrastructure milestones, such as growing usage of China’s Cross-border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) for cross-border clearing, and increasing usage of the RMB in newly- initiated RMB offshore clearing centres such as New York, Dubai and Moscow. "

All payments will be made in Chinese renminbi (RMB) ICBC’s role in the transaction ● Being the sole Lead Bookrunner on the trade, ICBC not only undertook a significant role in marketing and distribution of the trade; from the very start, the deal team spearheaded the structuring process of the product by working closely with PBOC ● ICBC also acted as the issuer's RMB settlement account provider, and the key liaison between the issuer, PBOC and various agencies including Shanghai Clearing House, Beijing Financial Assets Exchange, and CFETs etc., ensured an efficient and smooth execution ● Last but not least, ICBC was the hedge provider for both the issuer and the investors, apart from being one of the biggest investors on the trade Issuer World Bank (International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, IBRD) Issuer Rating (M/S/F) Aaa/AAA/AAA Status of Notes Unsecured unsubordinated Tenor 3 year Amount SDR 500mn Issue Date 31 August 2016 Maturity 2 September 2019 Coupon / Price 0.49% per annum / 100% Coupon payment dates Paid annually, in Chinese Renminbi Settlement, clearing and custodian Shanghai Clearing House Law People’s Republic of China law ICBC’s role Lead Bookrunner and Joint Lead Underwriter Investors by type International Bank for Reconstruction and Development August 2016 SDRs 500mn Unsecured Unsubordinated Lead Bookrunner Joint Lead Underwriter Transaction Overview ● The bonds were issued under the World Bank’s new SDR Denominated Issuance Program that was approved on August 12, 2016, by the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), with a total size of SDR 2 billion (approximately equivalent to USD 2.8 billion) ● On 30 August 2016 afternoon Beijing time, an IPT was announced at 0.4- 0.7%, to kick start a "Dutch auction" style bookbuilding process; the strong sentiment in the orderbook allowed for two rounds of price tightening, and the final price was set close to the tighter end of the range, at 0.49% ● As well as being a strategically important and ground-breaking transaction (ahead of 4-5 September G-20 Summit in Hangzhou), the economics were compelling too: with a re-offer yield of 0.49%, the transaction compares favourably with funding in USD ● In terms of distribution, it was well diversified with participations from around 50 accounts.
