China\u2019s onshore bond market is backed by liquidity, and the local currency remains stable against the US dollar. This puts it in the league to provide loans for developing countries in the Chinese currency. Borrowing costs in the local currency are low, which can save millions in foreign exchange rates.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, China\u2019s President Xi Jinping has been aggressively pushing the Chinese yuan for a long-term use case in the BRICS-led New Development Bank. This is the perfect stepping stone for Jinping to put his national currency for lending through the bank. The development will further strengthen the yuan in the forex markets and stabilize it against the US dollar.<\/p>\n<p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/watcher.guru\/news\/brics-russia-to-introduce-ban-on-gasoline-exports-from-april-1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">BRICS: Russia to Introduce Ban on Gasoline Exports From April 1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>BRICS: Chinese Yuan To Be Used to Fund the Global South via New Development Bank<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"802\" alt=\"BRICS Bank New Development Bank NDB\" class=\"wp-image-96653 ewww_webp\"   src-img=\"https:\/\/watcher.guru\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/brics-bank-new-development-bank-ndb-1024x802.jpg\" src-webp=\"https:\/\/watcher.guru\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/brics-bank-new-development-bank-ndb-1024x802.jpg.webp\" srcset-webp=\"https:\/\/watcher.guru\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/brics-bank-new-development-bank-ndb-1024x802.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/watcher.guru\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/brics-bank-new-development-bank-ndb-300x235.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/watcher.guru\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/brics-bank-new-development-bank-ndb-768x602.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/watcher.guru\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/brics-bank-new-development-bank-ndb-380x298.jpg.webp 380w, https:\/\/watcher.guru\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/brics-bank-new-development-bank-ndb-550x431.jpg.webp 550w, https:\/\/watcher.guru\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/brics-bank-new-development-bank-ndb-800x627.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/watcher.guru\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/brics-bank-new-development-bank-ndb.jpg.webp 1040w\" srcset-img=\"https:\/\/watcher.guru\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/brics-bank-new-development-bank-ndb-1024x802.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/watcher.guru\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/brics-bank-new-development-bank-ndb-300x235.jpg 300w, https:\/\/watcher.guru\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/brics-bank-new-development-bank-ndb-768x602.jpg 768w, https:\/\/watcher.guru\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/brics-bank-new-development-bank-ndb-380x298.jpg 380w, https:\/\/watcher.guru\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/brics-bank-new-development-bank-ndb-550x431.jpg 550w, https:\/\/watcher.guru\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/brics-bank-new-development-bank-ndb-800x627.jpg 800w, https:\/\/watcher.guru\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/brics-bank-new-development-bank-ndb.jpg 1040w\" data-eio=\"j\"\/>Source: Wikipedia<\/p>\n<p>The borrowing costs in the Chinese yuan are low, said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-04-01\/brics-led-development-bank-touts-yuan-funding-for-global-south\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-04-01\/brics-led-development-bank-touts-yuan-funding-for-global-south\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Zhongxia Jin, the BRICS-led New Development Bank\u2019s Director General for Treasury and Portfolio Management<\/a>.
