China's central bank announced on Wednesday that it has extended an agreement on a reciprocal currency swap scheme with the Bank of England.

The maximum value of swap was expanded from 200 billion yuan (31 billion U.S. dollars) to 350 billion yuan, valid for three years and can be further extended when agreed, according to a statement by the People's Bank of China (PBOC).

The PBOC said the deal will provide more liquidity for RMB businesses in Britain, boost local yuan-denominated asset transactions and management, as well as facilitate trade and investment.

The two sides signed the previous agreement in June 2013.
