China is likely to press ahead with expanding the global use of the yuan in a gradual and prudent manner during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-30), while continuing to foster a sound environment for using and holding the Chinese currency, officials and experts said. 官員及專家表示，“十四五”規劃期間（2026-2030年），中國或將以循序漸進、審慎穩妥的方式推進人民幣國際化進程，同時持續營造有利於人民幣使用與持有良好環境。 As the dollar-centered international monetary system appears increasingly fragile, efforts to raise the yuan's global profile are seen as essential not only for safeguarding China's financial security but also for enhancing the resilience of the global monetary framework, they said. 他們指出，隨著以美元為核心的國際貨幣體系脆弱性日益凸顯，提升人民幣國際地位不僅對維護中國金融安全至關重要，也有助於增強全球貨幣體系的韌性。 Future reforms, they added, should focus on broadening capital market access for global investors with a more integrated framework, deepening capital...
