London’s rise as an offshore RMB financial centre: state-finance relations and selective institutional adaptationTools Töpfer, Laura-Marie and Hall, Sarah (2018) London’s rise as an offshore RMB financial centre: state-finance relations and selective institutional adaptation.

This paper examines London’s development as the first Western offshore RMB centre established in 2013, drawing on original research conducted between 2013 and 2015 in London and China. The longitudinal analysis reveals that the development of RMB finance in London is characterised by selective adaptation in which state-private bargaining dynamics have shifted from strategic alignment to a bifurcation of interests. Understanding these state-finance relations has important implications for research and policymaking concerned with (offshore) financial centres and RMB internationalisation.
