Yuan

April

<p>A recent Bloomberg Intelligence (BI) analysis, based on data from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, reveals that the Chinese Yuan now accounts for 48% of China&#8217;s cross-border payments and receipts, up from virtually zero in 2010. This marks a new record high for the local currency.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the US dollar&#8217;s share has dropped from 83% to 47% over the same period. The percentage is calculated using the total volume of transactions, encompassing securities trading through connections between Hong Kong and mainland China&#8217;s financial markets. Stephen Chiu, BI&#8217;s chief Asia foreign-exchange and rates strategist, explains that the rise in yuan usage could be a natural outcome of China&#8217;s capital account opening up and increased inflows to Chinese bonds and outflows to Hong Kong stocks.</p>



<p>The trend is expected to continue, as China&#8217;s State Council announced on April 25 that the nation will further expand the use of the yuan for cross-border transactions in order to boost international commerce.</p>

<p>Although the yuan&#8217;s growing role represents a challenge to the dollar, it remains small. Chris Leung, an economist at DBS Bank, points out that while yuan internationalization is accelerating, it still has a long way to go before it can significantly disrupt dollar dominance. According to SWIFT, the yuan&#8217;s share of global payments remained stable at 2.3% in March.</p>



<p>This information emerges as the yuan weakens against the US dollar. On April 26, the China Foreign Exchange Trade System reported a 390-pip drop in the central parity rate of the yuan, or renminbi, to 6.9237 against the dollar. Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers recently dismissed the idea of the yuan posing a significant threat to the dollar, citing China&#8217;s capital outflows and market unreliability.</p>
