China Urges Banks to Boost Corporate Yuan Hedging
People's Republic of China
— Sep 14, 2026
Chinese regulators including SAFE and the PBOC are pressuring banks to raise corporate yuan hedging, moving toward a 40% target through window guidance to shield exporters from ongoing yuan volatility and encourage use of forwards, swaps, options, and other hedging tools. Hedging activity has surged, with corporate derivatives around $1.4 trillion in the first half of 2026 and the overall hedging ratio climbing from roughly 22% in 2020 to about 35% in H1 2026, as banks offer subsidies and expanded access to hedging services.
