The interbank FX market members:
On September 6 2021, under the authorization of the People's Bank of China (PBC), China Foreign Exchange Trade System (CFETS) will launch the regional trading of Renminbi (RMB) against Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) in the interbank FX market. Details are as follows:

Quoting banks will be selected from participating banks.
2. Participating banks and quoting banks will be authorized by the PBC Hangzhou Sub-branch after filing with the PBC. A bank branch or sub-branch which is not an independent legal entity must obtain written authorization from its head office. If an authorized participating bank is not a member of the interbank FX market, it must apply to CFETS for membership.

This reference rate is published by CFETS to members of the interbank FX market at 9:15 a.m. each trading day. At present, the spot trading price of CNY/IDR is allowed to float within the range of 10% around the reference rate.
6. Renminbi is the base currency in CNY/IDR trading. The decimal point of spot quotes is 2, equivalent to 0.01 expressed in decimal form. For the quotes of forward points and swap points, the decimal points are 2, equivalent to 0.01 expressed in decimal form. Minimum trading amounts are related to the above requirements for decimal points, i.e., RMB 0.01 and IDR 1, respectively.
