BEIJING - The State Council, China's cabinet, has approved expansion of a trial of?Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (RQFII) to Luxembourg, the central bank announced Wednesday.
According to a notice released by the People's Bank of China (PBOC), the RQFII quota is now 50 billion yuan ($8.17 billion).
