5 d. ago Kenya’s plan to switch debt payments from US dollars to yuan is a ‘win

Kenya’s plan to convert its US dollar-denominated Chinese debt to yuan is a “win-win”, as it is expected to reduce interest payments for the African nation while advancing China’s goal of increasing the global use of its currency, according to analysts. The deal would be precedent-setting and could establish a new rule book for future debt restructuring and possibly cut reliance on the US dollar. In late August, Kenya’s Treasury announced that talks with the Export-Import Bank of China were at...

6 d. ago China’s stablecoin bind: why US dollar tokens matter – and how Beijing may respond

9 d. ago China pushes development bank to help 10 Eurasian countries curb US dollar risks

A strong push on Monday to create a development bank serving 10 Eurasian countries, including China, would help insulate the group from increasingly risky US dollar-dominated trade while accelerating key infrastructure work, according to analysts.
