At a meeting between the leaders of China and Japan held in Beijing on December 25, 2011, it was agreed to strengthen cooperation aimed at the further development of the financial markets of Japan and China. Following the establishment of a cooperation framework between the two countries to support the sound development of yen and RMB denominated bond markets, BTMU has been considering the issuance of RMB denominated bonds in Japan.

In accord with initiatives by the Chinese government to promote the internationalization of the renminbi and diversify its sources of stable funding, in May 2010 BTMU subsidiary BTMU (China) issued RMB denominated bonds in the China onshore market, and in May 2014 issued offshore RMB denominated bonds (Dim Sum bonds) in Hong Kong. BTMU has the largest network in China amongst Japanese banks, and as China makes progress with deregulation in its financial sector, aims to fully utilize that network to provide innovative and high quality services to its customers.
