Deutsche Bank: The Chinese Renminbi Will Be The World's Next Major Reserve Currency



According to a leading analyst the renminbi is expected to become a major reserve currency in the next decade, a move that could see the greenback's share of global reserve currencies fall from about 60% now, to 50% by 2020. 

Cloete notes that Berkeley economist Barry Eichengreen has said that the renminbi could account for 15% of global currency reserve holdings within ten years.
Cloete elaborates:
"Demand for RMB is bound to accelerate, given China's commitment to liberalize its capital and current account by the end of 2015.
Hardly a month goes by without the People's Bank of China further loosening the restrictions on onshore RMB trade settlements for foreign investors and customers. For instance, since August 2011 foreign businesses have been able to settle contracts in RMB in any province in China, a relaxation of the rules that would have been unimaginable even two years ago."

Chinese renminbi fast becoming the leading reserve currency  -Renminbi bloc 
According to Subramanian and Kessler, respectively a senior fellow and a research analyst of the Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE), the currencies of seven out of ten economies in the region are tracking the renminbi more closely than tracking the U.S. dollar. This seems evident, as China's manufacturing trade with East Asia has risen from a scanty 2% in 1991 to 22%. There are many reasons supporting the development of an RMB bloc. The renminbi's reserve currency posture has risen from 35th globally for transaction volumes in 2010 to 14th byAugust. The economies of Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand are already more tied to renminbi than dollars, signaling a growing trend in the region that favors the Chinese currency for cross-border trade.
A current white-paper by the SWIFT indicates that renminbi-denominated trade accounted for 10% of China's total foreign trade in July from close to zero just two years ago. 2012 is a milestone year for the RMB: it had a market share of 0.53 percent in August and has overtaken the Danish krone to become the 14th-highest global payment currency, SWIFT said. The Royal Bank of Scotland and HSBC are two banks quite bullish on the RMB. RBS predicts the RMB to become fully convertible by 2015. HSBC is a member of the 2012 London RMB initiative, set up by the City of London and has a US road show presentation to entice investors to pool funds into RMB bonds. HSBC also estimates the RMB to be fully convertible by the end of the decade.

Communist party launches 'China Operating System' to oust iOS and Android

hina officials have launched a national operating system in an attempt to take back control of the country’s computer market from American companies such as Google and Apple. The software has been in development for more than a year, but has been released at a crucial time with revelations about US-led surveillance sparking fears over the integrity of American-designed software. Known simply as the China Operating System, or COS, the software can run on PCs, tablets and smartphones and has been based on the open-source Linux operating system. Chinese media say that the OS has been created “entirely independently” in order to provide better localization for a range of features – from Chinese-language keyboards, to integration with the country’s banks. At the launch of the event, one of the developers involved with the project reportedly criticized Western software , saying that Apple’s iOS was too closed, that Google’s Android OS suffered from fragmentation (ie, too many versi

Why non gold linked currency (Fiat money) collapse in the past- Hyperinfation-? We are going in the same direction with the dollar.

A brief great video to easily understand fiat money and how it affects us: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hx16a72j__8 Past examples of Fiat money failures:  When a government has the power and will to print unlimited monies; there is a sense of prosperity for awhile. At the same time the government is increasing its own power base (because it doles out the money). Eventually though excessive currency creation (especially of great magnitude) usually (if not always) leads to waste, corruption, and What is Fiat Money? Fiat money (usually paper, or coinage) acquires its value from government decree. It has no commodity value. In other words the only reason it is valuable is because people trust in their government and are willing to use it for financial transactions. The money is valueless if the populous loses all faith in the government. You can see this yourself by visiting a local coin shop. Ask to see fiat currencies from around the world from failed governments,
