The yuan is quietly becoming a global currency. 7% or $55 billion of China’s first quarter trade was conducted in yuan. Yuan deposits in the Hong Kong banking system rose to 511 billion ($79 billion) on April 30. As restrictions loosen, a global yuan looks more likely and this will spell change. “A yuan that’s more widely used in international trade and investment could eventually challenge the dollar’s supremacy, correct some of the imbalances that plague the Chinese and global economy, and force a profligate U.S. to live within its means.”
