The expanded service also allows clients to trade CNH online with BARX, the Barclays’ electronic trading platform.

Barlcays said that the other features of its CNH product suite include secondary trading of CNH bonds.

Ivan Ritossa, deputy head of FICC and head of trading for Asia Pacific said that the delivery of expanded CNH trading capabilities is a significant step for Barclays Capital in this important and growing market.

Barclays Capital head of FX distribution for Asia Pacific Jim Iorio said that the expansion of Barclays Capital’s trading capabilities provides convenient new ways to trade Renminbi offshore.

"The pool of liquidity made available by the firm is driving improved efficiency and helps to develop the CNH market for the benefit of our clients across the globe," Iorio said.
