McDonald's Turns to Yuan for Funding

McDonald's Corporation has become the first foreign company to issue a bond in the Chinese currency, as Beijing takes new steps to increase the use of the yuan in international transactions.
The U.S. fast-food giant has borrowed 200 million yuan, the equivalent of 29 million dollars, by issuing a bond to investors in Hong Kong.
With the help of Standard Chartered Bank, McDonald's took advantage of recently relaxed rules in the use of the Chinese currency.
Sundeep Bhandari, regional head of global markets in Northeast Asia at Standard Chartered, says the McDonald's bond will be the first of many from foreign companies.
"We are talking to other clients who are interested to issue in Hong Kong. Obviously, the clients who are most keen to look into this are those who have presence in China so they can raise funds in Hong Kong and remit back to China," said Bhandari.
Recently, China's central bank allowed foreign companies to issue yuan bonds in Hong Kong, to promote the use of the currency in international capital markets.
In the past, China had more tightly restricted use of its currency.
Foreign business in China had to exchange yuan to U.S. dollars before they could transfer money to their home country.
But China's economy is dependent on exports, and that increases demand to use the yuan overseas.
