欧洲的大多数银行家都知道卢森堡作为金融中心的重要性，凭借其巨型共同基金业务，但很少有人认识到欧洲顶级交易和中国人的存款中心人民币。卢森堡政府are determined to change that, launching a global campaign to promote the country’s prowess as a center for financial business denominated in the “people’s currency.”
官员备份与数据的断言。例如，采取的事实亚博赞助欧冠机构投资者已存入6.35亿元（1020亿美元）的中国证券在卢森堡，欧盟最大的这样的游泳池。与此同时，资产经理在卢森堡的人民币计价的共同基金中有2620亿元，也是欧洲最大的游泳池。
这个国家（539,000人）也抓住了一片大块市场，可供所谓的市场点心债券。卢森堡有44个价值330亿元人民币的债券问题，为人民币计价的离岸公司债券提供16％的市场份额。它在第一季度市场份额超过伦敦，现在在全球第三名，在债券发行方面，香港（36％的市场份额）和新加坡（30％）。
“卢森堡位于欧元区，而伦敦不是，”卢森堡最大的律师事务所的香港香港首席代表的StéphaneKarolczuk备忘录。“这可以解释为什么我们这么成功。”
But Luxembourg would like to capitalize even more on the internationalization of the renminbi, says Marc Saluzzi, a partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers and the chairman of the Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry. “We are working hard to maintain our position as the top offshore RMB center in the EU,” says Saluzzi.
During a trip to Beijing in early July led by Finance Minister Pierre Gramegna, Luxembourg authorities signed a memorandum of understanding with the People’s Bank of China to begin the process of setting up a renminbi clearing bank. Officials hope that such a bank will consolidate Luxembourg’s position as the top renminbi center of Europe.
“卢森堡和中国之间的关系非常重要，”Saluzzi说，他是大约70多个卢森堡官员和旅行中高管的代表团的成员。“这就是为什么我们每年至少访问中国的人以维持联系。”
虽然瑞士仍然是欧洲领先的财富管理中心，但国家并不是欧洲联盟成员的事实损害了欧元计价资产的基金管理。因此，卢森堡占据了欧洲共同基金业务，在管理层下的资产2.6万亿欧元，这是一个只在基金资产方面排名第二。
“Because we are in the EU and operate under the EU’s Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities, or UCITS, directives, we can help Chinese fund managers and financial institutions to effectively access European markets,” says Saluzzi, who notes that many of the Chinese banks operating in Hong Kong have in recent years also opened branches in Luxembourg. They include Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Construction Bank and China Merchants Bank.
卢森堡政府also hope to persuade their Chinese counterparts to soon include the grand duchy in the RMB qualified foreign institutional investor program. That would allow investors with renminbi holdings in Luxembourg to invest directly in the capital markets on the Chinese mainland.
为了获得所谓的RQFII配额，卢森堡需要与中国进行战略对话。“这将是一个均衡的中国可以给你以及你能给中国的均衡交易，”Saluzzi说。将卢森堡纳入中国人民币遣返投资计划将遵循该国人民币清算银行。
Saluzzi说，尽管比利时，法国和德国之间是内陆的，但卢森堡无法成为欧洲最重要的金融门户到几十年来。
“在长期来看，我们有一个双重目标，”他说。“我们希望通过使用卢森堡作为金融中心，帮助中国基金经理和金融机构全球扩大。我们也希望说服欧洲和全球机构投资者通过卢森堡挖掘中国。“亚博赞助欧冠关注亚洲局首席艾伦T.陈戈·鲁德推特@ Acheng87。
