    BEIJING - The transaction volume of China's cross-border trade settled in yuan has increased sharply, as the government approved pilot companies to use the currency in direct overseas investments.

    In the first month of this year, Bank of China's total volume of yuan-denominated cross-border trade settlement reached about 40 billion yuan ($6.09 billion), one-fourth of the 160 billion yuan for the whole of 2010, said Chen Jun, a manager from the international settlement business department of the bank on Tuesday.

    Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the world's largest lender by market value, transacted about 150 billion yuan in cross-border settlement business since the pilot program started in July 2009, a report of the bank said.

    China's cross-border trade settlement in the currency rose to 510 billion yuan by the end of last year, Chen said adding that the government is looking to reduce dependence on the US dollar and quicken the pace of yuan globalization.

    "Growing international trade and investment by Chinese companies abroad increased the need for yuan-denominated settlement business, and it also provided business opportunities for domestic financial institutions," said Chen.

    Investors in the offshore yuan market are likely to hold more working capital in the currency as Chinese financial institutions are working on providing more innovative products and services, Chen added.

    The People's Bank of China in January allowed some domestic pilot companies to directly invest overseas in yuan, in order to expand yuan-settled business.

    These pilot companies were from 24 provinces and cities on the mainland, including Liaoning, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Shanghai.

    "Allowing direct investment in the currency is a start to liberalizing the capital account and will help ease the pressure of excessive liquidity, said Xu Sheng, director of the Capital Management Department at JP Morgan Chase in Shanghai.

    "It will further accelerate trade settlements in the currency and expand the offshore yuan markets," he said.

    Hong Kong, the emerging yuan hub, is expected to provide more options for investors in the offshore yuan market, with companies issuing yuan-denominated bonds and with plans to sell yuan-based shares.

    After China's government revised the settlement agreement on the clearing of yuan business in July 2010, Hong Kong handled 370 billion yuan in trade settlements last year, according to the Xinhua News Agency.

    The total value of cross-border trade in the currency rose to 108 billion in January, from 100.9 billion yuan in December last year, data from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority showed.

    According to a survey from HSBC, about 30 percent of cross-border trade of small and medium-sized companies in Hong Kong is settled in yuan, and this figure is likely to increase to 50 percent by the end of 2011.
