「人民幣」（RMB）有著相當特殊的背景因素，基於歷史背景不同，經濟體制不同，與西方國家的貨幣（如美元、歐元）發展差異很大；未來人民幣是否可能成為重要的國際儲備貨幣，甚至可能會威脅到美元的世界領導地位？而「離岸中心」（Offshore Financial Center），則是在規劃人民幣國際化過程中，一個相當關鍵的階段，除了可以增加人民幣的交易，也能夠促進人民幣於在岸與離岸市場之間的使用與流通的龐大商機。 本研究首先由貨幣市場的歷史回顧與發展現況進行探討，接著針對人民幣的現行體系、各離岸中心運作模式等逐一分析，藉由分析人民幣離岸中心業務與營運，來了解過去、現在及未來的發展方向，並且對於人民幣離岸中心目前所遇到的問題給予建議。最後針對台灣，探討目前策略定位與未來發展人民幣離岸中心之成功要素。 本研究結論為，以長期來說，根據IMF國際貨幣基金組織的報告指出：人民幣是最有潛力在國際上被廣泛使用的貨幣，基於中國龐大的經濟規模、多元化的貿易結構、總體經濟穩定以及高經濟成長率，而人民幣未來也將會成為主要的國際貨幣。因此，台灣爭取成為人民幣離岸中心，已經是刻不容緩的事，未來更可順勢發展成為國際金融中心。期望本研究能提供給本國與外商金融業者之策略發展，並提出建議供主管機關相關政策制定參考之用。 關鍵字：人民幣、離岸中心、貨幣 / "Renminbi" (RMB) has a very special background, based on the historical matter, the different economic system matter, and that varies greatly in comparison with the Western countries' currencies (such as the US dollar, Euro).
