🌍 “Digital Yuan Revolution: Is Iraq Ready to Join the New Global Payment Era?” 💱⚡
Some highlights by PDK – Not verbatim
🚨 Key Expert Insight:
Banking expert Faiq Al-Obaidi warns that Iraq’s financial sector must rapidly adapt to the rise of cross-border digital payments, especially as the digital renminbi (e-CNY) reshapes global trade.
💡 Top Highlights:
🇨🇳 China Leads the Charge:
The People’s Bank of China has fully linked the digital renminbi system with ASEAN countries and six Middle Eastern nations.
Analysts say this could allow 38% of global trade to move beyond SWIFT, entering what they call the “Digital Renminbi Moment.”
🏦 Impact on Iraq:
Many Iraqi banks have already opened accounts in Chinese currency, setting up the infrastructure to join this digital payment revolution.
Al-Obaidi urges the Central Bank of Iraq to issue clear policies and training to ensure local banks can operate efficiently in the new system.
⏱️ Speed & Savings:
Traditional SWIFT transfers take 3–5 days, but digital yuan transactions settle in 7–8 seconds!
Example: In a Hong Kong–Abu Dhabi test, fees dropped 98%, and no intermediary banks were needed.
Energy traders in the Middle East report settlement costs reduced by 75%.
🌐 Global Momentum:
23 central banks now testing or adopting the system.
ASEAN cross-border renminbi settlements reached ¥5.8 trillion in 2024, up 120% from 2021.
Countries like Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand have integrated the renminbi into reserves or oil deals.
💣 Challenge to Dollar Dominance:
Experts say this is the first real threat to the U.S. dollar’s global control.
China is quietly building financial sovereignty, using the Belt and Road Initiative to expand the reach of the digital renminbi.
87% of countries have now adapted systems for it — with over $1.2 trillion in digital cross-border payments processed.
🧠 The Big Picture:
This “silent financial revolution” isn’t just about faster payments — it’s about who controls the global economy’s bloodstream in the digital age.
