Throughout the four days, we will be part of discussions on trade connectivity, private sector participation in trade development, resilient trade finance and the role of Islamic trade finance in increasing intra OIC commerce and expanding commercial ties with other markets.

CHINA YUAN PUSH: Challenging the US Dollar’s Dominance? China is implementing strategies to promote the use of the yuan by foreign institutions, coinciding with a decline in the U.S. dollar’s strength. These efforts include expanding access to futures markets and encouraging yuan-denominated trade settlement. The People’s Bank of China is planning a digital yuan internationalization center in Shanghai and promoting yuan foreign exchange futures trading. Recent measures involve allowing qualified foreign institutional investors to trade additional futures and options contracts on Chinese exchanges, covering commodities like natural rubber, lead, and tin. The Shanghai Futures Exchange is considering allowing foreign currencies as collateral for yuan-settled trades. Other steps include enabling foreign investors to participate in exchange-traded fund options trading for hedging and waiving certain fees for international financial institutions opening local accounts to access the bond market. While global institutions have shown interest in diversifying into China, capital controls and systemic opacity have been obstacles. Despite some concerns about U.S. policy unpredictability, China’s legal framework and limited liquid assets remain challenges to becoming a dependable alternative. China has been developing offshore yuan clearing banks and promoting its cross-border interbank payment system. Chinese banks are increasingly using the yuan for lending to emerging market economies, and the country is promoting bilateral trade settlement in yuan, including offering financing for businesses in Hong Kong. Yuan-denominated settlements of cross-border payments are increasing, particularly among energy and commodities companies. Chinese companies expanding overseas are also contributing to yuan internationalization. However, the yuan’s share of global payments decreased slightly in May, accounting for 2.89% of global payments, ranking sixth worldwide. The U.S. dollar accounted for 48.46% of global payments, followed by the euro at 23.56%. #ChinaYuan #YuanInternationalization #USDollarDominance #GlobalPayments #DigitalYuan #ShanghaiFuturesExchange #CrossBorderPayments #YuanTradeSettlement #ForeignExchangeFutures #PeopleBankOfChina #CommodityFutures #YuanClearingBanks #BilateralTrade #EmergingMarkets #CapitalControls #ChineseEconomy #GlobalFinance #YuanDenominatedTrade #USPolicy #FinancialMarkets #BondMarketAccess #OffshoreYuan #InterbankPaymentSystem #ChineseBanks #HongKongFinance #EnergyCommodities #GlobalCurrency #CurrencyDiversification #FuturesTrading #ExchangeTradedFunds #HedgingStrategies #NaturalRubberFutures #LeadFutures #TinFutures #ForeignInvestors #SystemicOpacity #LegalFramework #LiquidAssets #YuanShare #DollarShare #EuroShare #EconomicStrategy #TradeFinancing #ChineseExpansion #CurrencyMarkets
