RMB adoption in the Middle East is reshaping regional economies and trade flows

March 11, 2026--A new study by Standard Chartered pegs the primary drivers behind RMB's growth in the region to energy settlements in the Middle East
The growing dominance of Renminbi (RMB) in the Middle East as a strategic currency is a direct result of a convergence in pricing dynamics, counterparty preference and long-dated capital needs, particularly in the fields of energy trade, according to Standard Chartered.

The primary driver behind Renminbi's growth in the Middle East is the energy settlements in the region with Chinese buyers who are increasingly favouring RMB denomination, the global bank said in a study.

Infrastructure finance, linked to China-backed projects and contractors, along with strategic diversification, further adds RMB optionality alongside the US dollar.
