The Chinese yuan (CNY) and Russian ruble (RUB) are two of the most widely traded currencies in the world.

Both currencies are controlled by their respective governments and are not freely convertible.

The Chinese yuan is pegged to a basket of currencies, including the US dollar, while the Russian ruble is pegged to a basket of currencies, including the US dollar and the euro.

The exchange rate between the CNY and RUB can fluctuate significantly depending on various economic and political factors.

China's Yuan in Russia

China's Yuan in Russia has taken a significant leap forward, replacing the US Dollar as the most traded currency in the country. This shift occurred just a year after Russia's invasion of Ukraine led to Western sanctions against Moscow.

The yuan surpassed the dollar in monthly trading volume in February for the first time, and the difference became more pronounced in March, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The yuan's trading volume on the Russian market was negligible before the invasion.

Russia's financial system has been forced to switch its foreign-trade transactions from the dollar and euro to currencies of countries that have declined to join any restrictions. The Finance Ministry converted its market operations to the yuan instead of the dollar earlier this year.

The yuan has been more popular in Russia, but China's capital account controls and geopolitical concerns among global investors remain a barrier to its wider adoption. Global foreign-exchange reserves allocation in the yuan accounted for about 2.7% of the total amount by the end of last year.

Commodity imports from Russia to China are up by 29%, although exports from China are stagnating. This trend suggests that Russia's economy is increasingly dependent on its partnership with China.
