As of April 2024, the Chinese yuan continues to hold its position as the world's second-most used currency in SWIFT trade settlements surpassing Euro, maintaining a significant share of 5.8% of international payments since September 2023. This status underscores China's growing economic influence and its strategic moves to internationalize its currency, aligning with its broader geopolitical and economic goals, including engagements within the BRICS bloc.

The rise in the yuan's usage in global finance is attributed to several factors, including China's extensive trade networks and increased acceptance of the yuan in trade finance, particularly in regions experiencing economic volatility. The yuan's role as a trade and reserve currency has been strategically bolstered through bilateral agreements and the establishment of currency swap lines with various central banks worldwide.

Overall, the yuan's ascent in the rankings of global currencies is a reflection of China's advancing economic stature and the international community's increasing confidence in engaging with its currency for global trade and finance transactions.
