War in Ukraine might give the Chinese yuan the boost it needs to become a major global currency -- and be a serious contender against the US dollar

Retrieved on: 
Friday, June 2, 2023

The country is the largest exporter in the world and the most important trading partner of Japan, Germany, Brazil and many other countries.

Key Points: 
  • The country is the largest exporter in the world and the most important trading partner of Japan, Germany, Brazil and many other countries.
  • It has the second-largest economy after the U.S., based on the market exchange rate, and the largest based on purchasing power.
  • And yet the yuan still lags as a major global currency.

Chinese yuan’s slow progress

    • For example, the Chinese government launched the Cross-Border Interbank Payments System, or CIPS, in 2015 to facilitate cross-border payments in yuan.
    • Three years later, in 2018, it launched the world’s first yuan-denominated crude oil futures contracts to allow exporters to sell oil in yuan.
    • China has also emerged perhaps as the world’s largest creditor, with the government and state-controlled enterprises extending loans to dozens of developing countries.
    • And China is developing a digital yuan as one of the world’s first central bank digital currencies.

US dollar’s dominance questioned

    • The value of the U.S. dollar appreciated significantly against most other currencies in 2022 as the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates.
    • With Russia largely cut off from international financial markets, it stepped up its trade with China.
    • Russia began receiving payments for coal and gas in yuan, and Moscow increased the yuan holdings in its foreign currency reserves.
    • Other countries took notice of Russia’s increasing use of the yuan and saw an opportunity to decrease their own dependency on the dollar.
    • The combined dollar amount of these transactions is still relatively small, but the shift to yuan is significant.

Yuan still not freely available

    • Such capital controls and limited transparency in Chinese financial markets mean China still lacks the deep and free financial markets that are required to make the yuan a major global currency.
    • For the yuan to achieve a truly global standing, it needs to be freely available for cross-border investment and not just serve as a payment medium to accommodate trade.
    • But the war in Ukraine may have just made it feasible for the yuan to eventually join the ranks of the dollar and the euro – even if the volume isn’t there yet.
