Why African Nations Aren't Ditching the US Dollar for the Chinese Yuan | Firstpost Africa | N18GWatch this video as Firstpost explains how China and Russia have long pitched a new global financial order—one where developing economies in Africa can trade and borrow without relying on the US dollar. On paper, Beijing’s push for the Chinese yuan promises cheaper transactions and faster settlements through its CIPS payment network and new African clearing hubs. Yet in reality, de-dollarisation across Africa is stalling. From mismatched banking regulations and digital infrastructure gaps to severe debt distress across 22 African nations, the continent isn't ready—or eager—to swap dependence on Washington for Beijing. Meanwhile, Russia’s own high-profile pivot to the yuan is unravelling in 2026, with its share of Russian export payments plunging to 22% as major Chinese banks retreat over US secondary sanction fears. Here is why the greenback’s global dominance remains intact, and what the future really holds for Africa’s financial independence. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.
