“China is looking into how individuals and small businesses can settle trade using yuan this year, a People’s Bank of China official told Reuters on Monday, potentially opening a massive new conduit for Chinese currency to flow into global markets. At the same time, by allowing individual traders and companies, Beijing can help eliminate the risk of currency fluctuation for individuals and small enterprises in the import/export sector. Chinese individuals are only permitted to exchange the equivalent of $50,000 per year for use in overseas purchases or investments, but many companies have managed to get around these restrictions through trade.”
