Chinese Yuan Surges in Global Forex Trade as US Dollar Faces Pressure | Vantage on Firstpost

The Chinese yuan’s role in global finance is expanding as countries seek alternatives to the US dollar. Its share of global foreign exchange trades rose to 8.5% in 2025, up from 7% in 2022 and just 2.2% a decade ago, making it the fifth most traded currency and narrowing the gap with the British pound. China has launched the CIPS payment system, a digital yuan hub, and expanded swap deals. Kenya shifted loans to yuan, while dollar volatility, driven by political and trade uncertainty, has accelerated diversification. Yet, the dollar still dominates, and strict capital controls limit yuan’s growth.
