The designation of Deutsche Bank, a key and influential bank in Europe, to serve as the yuan-clearing bank will greatly facilitate and expand the use of the yuan in the EU market, providing more impetus to broader China-EU economic and trade ties, a Chinese analyst said on Tuesday.
The People's Bank of China (PBC), the central bank, announced on Monday that it had decided to authorize Deutsche Bank to serve as the yuan-clearing bank in Frankfurt, Germany, based on a memorandum of understanding with the Deutsche Bundesbank.
The move came as China-EU trade and economic ties continue to deepen and bilateral trade continues to expand, despite recent restrictions imposed by the European Commission.
In a statement sent to the Global Times on Monday, Deutsche Bank said that following the appointment by the PBC, it will facilitate direct end-to-end processing, clearing and settlement services for cross-border yuan transactions for European financial institutions and businesses, acting as a local bridge to China's payment systems. 
Deutsche Bank, a global systemically important bank as well as the world's largest euro-clearing bank, said that it is the first foreign bank in Europe to receive this designation.
"Securing yuan-clearing capability in Europe reinforces our role as a trusted global clearing partner and our long-standing support for yuan internationalization. It strengthens China-Europe financial connectivity and enhances our ability to support clients' cross-border trade and investment flows with greater choice and flexibility," Alexander von zur Muehlen, CEO of Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa and Germany at Deutsche Bank, said in the statement.
Xi Junyang, a professor at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, told the Global Times on Tuesday that while a number of Chinese banks are already performing yuan-clearing functions in the EU, the addition of Deutsche Bank, with its deep roots in the local market, carries great significance.
"Banks have different client bases, and Deutsche Bank has many European companies as its customers. With the appointment, these market participants enjoy a far greater degree of facilitation and ease in tapping yuan use cases," said the professor.
Companies and financial institutions can also avoid risks of foreign exchange losses as they can now directly choose yuan-euro settlement and bypass the use of a third currency, the expert said, noting that China-EU trade and investment ties will be one step closer with a local clearing bank coming onboard.
Tian Lihui, dean of the Institute of Financial Development at Nankai University, told the Global Times on Tuesday that the latest development, some 12 years after the first-yuan clearing bank form a Chinese bank was set up in Frankfurt, marked a milestone as the yuan-clearing system in Europe has evolved from a model where "Chinese entities handle clearing for Europeans" to one where "Europeans handle yuan-clearing themselves."
The decision by one of Europe's largest domestic banks to integrate into the yuan-clearing system signals that China-Europe financial cooperation is moving beyond the shallow level of facilitating trade settlements into the more substantial level of jointly building financial infrastructure, Tian said.
For both China and Europe, this move represents a mutually beneficial institutional alignment, Tian said. "China gains greater depth in the offshore yuan market, while Europe secures an additional strategic option amid the contest of major currencies."
Brussels has recently been intensifying its use of restrictive trade and regulatory tools across sectors ranging from clean technologies to digital infrastructure and foreign subsidies, with many of these measures seen as directly affecting Chinese firms and adding strain to China-EU economic relations.
However, despite these moves, deepening industrial and supply chain integration and the strong complementarity of the two economies have continued to push bilateral trade to new highs. In the first seven months of 2026, China's total trade with the EU stood at 3.67 trillion yuan ($543.90 billion), up 9.5 percent year-on-year, data from China's General Administration of Customs showed on Friday.
As China-EU economic and trade ties continue to expand and deepen, demand for the yuan to be used in the EU market will rise proportionately, and more EU banks will likely be authorized to serve as yuan-clearing banks, Xi Junyang said.
Financial cooperation between the world's largest trading bloc and the largest trading nation has accelerated in recent months. In May, the PBC renewed and expanded a bilateral currency swap agreement with the National Bank of Serbia, increasing the value of the swap from 1.5 billion yuan to 5 billion yuan.
Almost 80 percent of the surveyed Chinese companies operating in the EU plan to expand their investment, even amid tightening policies in the EU and an increasingly complex business environment, according to a report published by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce to the EU and the China Economic Information Service in March. Fostering cooperation in emerging industries and cross-border finance have been highlighted by industry insiders as new growth drivers of China-EU trade and economic cooperation.
The yuan accounted for 3.1 percent of global payments in June, rising from 2.75 percent in the previous month, and ranking as the fifth most active currency for global payments by value, according to a report from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication. In terms of trade finance, the yuan ranked second with a market share of 8 percent.
。    从公开报道可知，中国空军编队跨越6000多公里，途经亚非四国，所过之处能看到雪山、沙漠、海湾、绿洲等多种地形地貌，再结合地图不难推断出大致飞行路线。        歼-16双机空中加油。图/央视军事    当前，中东局势紧张微妙，沿途各国却不约而同地为中方编队过境“开绿灯”，从一个侧面凸显了中国的国际地位和影响力。    而按照官方通报，此番中国空军派出歼击机、加油机、特种机、直升机等多型多架飞机成体系参训。别看短短一句话，至少有三个看点值得关注：    主角从歼-10C变成歼-16。视频显示，这次中方参训主力战机，是被誉为“空中炸弹卡车”的双发重型四代机歼-16，这也是其首次亮相非洲。

二 |     特约观察员石中剑告诉中新网，相比单发中型多用途战机歼-10C，歼-16的整体技战术指标要高出一个量级。

三 |     他说，由于块头大、力气足，歼-16不仅载弹量可媲美中型轰炸机，而且改造潜力大，未来或通过更新升级，拥有指挥控制无人机作战的能力。    不过，相比多次海外练兵并经受实战洗礼的歼-10C，歼-16除了曾在2019年赴巴基斯坦参训之外，尚未有过跨洲际长途飞行近9小时的公开记录。    正如官方消息所说，这趟“出远门”，歼-16遇到了复杂多变的气象条件，需要处置各式各样的突发特情，后续还要在陌生的中东高温沙尘环境下开展一系列实战化演练。    埃方诚意满满精锐尽出。近日放出的联训视频显示，埃及空军已确认登场的就有法制“阵风”EM/DM、俄制米格-29M/M2两型精锐战机。    视频里有个细节：透过歼-16座舱视角，能看到远处有一架“阵风”在很短时间内，完成了“90度滚转改平+高速爬升脱离”的连贯战术动作。        歼-16与“阵风”。图/欧洲“航空时代”网站    石中剑分析称，这个一闪而过的画面表明双方进行了空中格斗演练，其特点是节奏快、对抗激烈，很考验战机性能与飞行员的基本功。    他表示，埃及空军被公认为中东和非洲最强大的空中力量之一，埃方飞行员训练有素、经验丰富，而“阵风”空战能力较强，曾在北约演习中凭借高机动性击败美制五代机F-22。    因此，歼-16与高手过招，不仅可充分检验战机技战术性能，还能进一步锻炼提升飞行员的快速反应、临战决策和驾驶操作能力。

四 |     特种机才是硬核隐蔽玩家。

五 | 现代空战不是单打独斗，而是体系之间的对抗，需要不同机型进行配合。    据军事专家傅前哨介绍，除了歼-16战斗机，中方这次还派出运油-20A加油机、空警-500预警机、运-9LG电战机和直-20K救援直升机。    尤其是运-9LG，曾作为“国产特种机三剑客”之一参加九三阅兵。据悉，前者全称为运-9雷达干扰机，是专精于雷达干扰任务的电子战飞机。

六 |     傅前哨称，运-9LG既可搜集情报，也能压制、干扰对手雷达与通信导航系统。这款特种机的加入，表明本次联合训练中，制电磁权被摆在十分重要的位置。        运-9LG（右）在九三阅兵时惊鸿一瞥。图/央视军事    石中剑则认为，运-9LG不仅能够模拟贴近实战的电子对抗场景，还与战斗机、预警机、加油机、救援直升机共同构成了较完整的一体化空中作战体系。    他表示，“派出这么多高精尖军机参训，不但印证了中埃空军联训‘逐步向体系化联合作战推进’的官方表态，更凸显了双方日益增强的战略互信。”    来源：中国新闻网    作者: 刁炜返回，查看更多。
