The work of International Monetary Institute (IMI), this book provides a clear picture of the RMB Internationalization Index (RII), offers recommendations and insights into the direction of China’s currency reform, and explains the Triffin Dilemma and its connection to China’s path for full internationalization of the RMB.

Review
"For those who want a serious, comprehensive status report on the internationalization of the yuan, there is no better read than The Internationalization of the RMB: 2013 Report. According to The Economist, the 'Buzz about the rise of China’s currency has run far ahead of sedate reality.' This volume increases the signal-to-buzz ratio."
--Prof. Steve H. Hanke, The Johns Hopkins University
