A ascensão global da moeda chinesa : conflito de domínio ou abordagem de resguardo?

Abstract

In recent years, China has established itself as one of the world's leading economies, adopting a more assertive foreign policy since the mid-2010s. This study examines the reasons and strategies behind China's efforts to strengthen the international use of its currency, the Renminbi (RMB). The research discusses the benefits, costs, and challenges in the internationalization of the RMB, as well as China's efforts to reform the international monetary system, reducing dependence on traditionally industrialized countries. The promotion of the RMB at the regional level, the creation of international financial institutions, and the inclusion of the RMB in the Special Drawing Rights highlight China's ambition to increase its monetary power. The internationalization of the RMB is influenced by the Chinese government's economic and political considerations, as well as domestic interest group conflicts. China, in its peaceful growth strategy, seeks to elevate its global status through rapid economic development in a stable international environment. Despite the challenges, China is likely to continue its gradual strategy of RMB internationalization. With the gradual opening of the capital account and financial market reform, the RMB could become a major reserve currency, benefiting China's national interests. Eventually, China may consolidate its monetary position in Asia and expand its international influence.
