Historic BRICS Loan Worth $2 Billion in Yuan Disbursed to Australia
In a landmark move, BRICS member China pushed the Chinese yuan for a loan of 14.2 billion yuan, equivalent to $1.98 billion, to Australia’s metals giant Fortescue. The deal was arranged by the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) and represents the largest offshore yuan. Australia’s top metals energy firm, Fortescue, accepted the yuan loan, and the US dollar played no role in the transactions. This marks a significant shift as the US dollar was the de facto currency for firms in Australia and other Western countries.

Things get really interesting here: The Australian firm will repay in the yuan after it sells iron ore to China. This creates a “cross-border closed-loop yuan financing solution” where China gains the most out of the deal. This is another way in which BRICS member China is globalizing the yuan through a loan to Australia. The US dollar is the hardest hit here, as historically, it should have been disbursed in the US dollar.

Therefore, China controls the strings here where its currency is being used, and also receives business and goods in return. China is also considering disbursing similar loan to other BRICS members, like it did to Australia.
