| Subject: China yuan overtakes yen in global payment rankings: SWIFT Thu Oct 08, 2015 2:30 am | |
| China's yuan has overtaken the Japanese yen and moved into fourth place among the world's payments currencies, global transactions organisation SWIFT said Tuesday, as Beijing pushes greater international use of its currency.
The yuan -- also known as the renminbi -- held a 2.79 percent share in world payments based on value in August, SWIFT said in a statement, besting the yen's 2.76 percent. The yen's position eroded to fifth place.
SWIFT stressed that over the last three years the yuan has jumped past seven currencies. In August 2012 it ranked 12th with a share of just 0.84 percent.
