Standard Chartered said global companies are increasingly adopting the Chinese yuan in trade and treasury operations, according to a survey of nearly 300 corporates. The bank found that about 23% of corporate revenues and 25% of costs already have renminbi exposure, while only 14% of debt is denominated in the currency, highlighting a gap between operating exposure and financing strategies. The report suggests companies could achieve up to 2% annual savings by using RMB-based working capital financing as the currency becomes more integrated into global corporate treasury frameworks.
