The Influence of London as a World Center for Chinese Yuan Trading is Decreasing

Shares of London on global trading with Chinese Yuan outside of China reached almost 44 percent in August

That is half a percentage point less than in May.

Global daily yuan trade turnover reached $85 billion dollar since August. This presented almost one quarter interannual increase and 9 percent increase in comparison to May. 43,9 percent from whole the value belonged to London, while the value was higher in six tenths of percentage point in May. The data come from City of London Corporation, municipal administration of London City.

Increase in trade volume with yuan corresponds to the data from Bank for International Settlements (BIS) based in Basel, Switzerland. According to BIS the Chinese Yuan is eight most traded currency with its share of 4,1 percent on global currency trading. Yuan is at the same time the most traded currency in countries with emerging markets.
