By the end of 2025, the total trading volume of the Chinese yuan amounted to 23.8 trillion rubles. Over the year, the indicator decreased by 16% and became the lowest in the last three years, according to the "Kommersant" newspaper.
December was the most successful month for the exchange currency market in the previous year, when the total trading volume of the Chinese currency reached 2.74 trillion rubles. The indicator increased by 78% month-on-month and by 6.5% year-on-year.
In 2026, experts expect a decrease in market volatility and further reduction in the volumes of exchange currency trading. The decrease in activity of exchange currency trading will be influenced by the increase in the share of ruble in international settlements, a decrease in export earnings coming into the country, as well as a slowdown in economic growth in Russia.
