According to The Economist, China's economy is expected to overtake the USA's by as
early as 2018. Multinational companies hoping to make the most of this opportunity
have been investing in China via the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Commercial banks
such as the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) and the Hong Kong and
Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) also have an increasingly important role in the
development of the Chinese economy. Nevertheless, the trading of the renminbi,
China's official currency, is still closely monitored by the People's Bank of China- the
central bank.
