SINGAPORE: DBS Group, Southeast Asia's largest lender by assets, is seeing growing interest from Chinese exporters to settle trades in renminbi (RMB), or yuan, particularly with counterparts in Latin America and the Middle East, a senior executive said.

"Right now, you see the Chinese exporters, some are beginning to ask and say, I'm going to sell in RMB, please settle in RMB," said Han Kwee Juan, speaking to Reuters in his first media interview since becoming DBS's group head of institutional banking in January.
