Yuan the 4th most-used payment currency

According to the global transaction services organisation SWIFT, China's Yuan became the fourth most-used world payment currency by overtaking Japanese yen in August. Currently, Yuan is only after the "US dollar, the euro and the sterling" as a payment currency. The payments for Yuan increased in value by 9.13% while the other currencies decreased by 8.3%.

In 2013, China started seeking a larger role for its money in global trade and investment and China loosened controls on the "exchange rate and borrowing costs" to make that happen. Agreements were advertised in China regarding "the start of direct currency trading" amongst yuan, British pound and Singapore dollar. Moreover, the opening of Chinese capital markets was leading to its larger international circulation.

Reforms in China making Yuan stronger

The reason behind Yuan's climb as a payment currency has been due to the narrowed gap between its onshore and offshore prices.

Chinese efforts to check capital outflows and gain confidence in 'stable foreign exchange rates' eased investor concerns making Yuan flourish
