On July 2, 2026, with the strong support of the People’s Bank of China South Pacific Representative Office and the Chinese Consulate General in Sydney, Bank of China Sydney Branch successfully hosted the high-end summit forum themed “Deepening RMB International Use, Empowering China-Australia Economic and Trade Connectivity”. The forum gathered financial institutions, government and enterprise representatives, industrial leaders and cultural tourism practitioners from China and Australia in Sydney to conduct in-depth discussions on how RMB internationalization empowers the high-quality development of bilateral economy, trade, cultural tourism and cross-border investment, pointing out new directions for the integrated development of financial innovation and industries. With the continuous expansion of bilateral trade, two-way cultural tourism exchanges and cross-border project investment, cross-border capital flows between the two countries have become increasingly frequent. The traditional foreign currency settlement model faces pain points such as severe exchange rate fluctuations, long settlement cycles, high transaction costs and insufficient capital security, which can no longer adapt to the current diversified and high-frequency bilateral cooperation in economy, trade and cultural tourism. Targeting industrial pain points and development trends, the forum conducted comprehensive exchanges on cutting-edge topics including the upgrading of local currency settlement for bilateral trade, cross-border financial product innovation, financial empowerment for cultural tourism business, cross-border financial services for SMEs and green financial cooperation. Authoritative participants unanimously agreed that expanding the normalized use of RMB in bilateral scenarios is the key to optimizing the bilateral economic and trade system, reducing external financial risks and improving cross-border cooperation efficiency. Promoting RMB settlement can effectively avoid operational risks caused by international exchange rate fluctuations, simplify the settlement procedures for mineral trade, agricultural product import and export, cultural tourism investment and cross-border business exchanges, and greatly reduce the operating costs of enterprises, cultural tourism institutions and cross-border merchants. A number of industrial consensuses and preliminary cooperation intentions were reached at the forum, continuously improving the bilateral financial cooperation mechanism and enabling RMB to better serve diverse scenarios including energy trade, agricultural trade, cultural tourism services and scientific and technological innovation investment. As a high-end cross-border exchange platform integrating finance, industry and cultural tourism, the summit breaks the barrier of financial empowerment on real industries, boosts the high-quality development of bilateral trade, cultural tourism and industrial coordination through financial innovation, and injects strong and sustainable financial momentum into the integrated development of China-Australia economy, trade and cultural tourism.
