Pakistan Adopts Chinese Currency for Crude Oil Trade: An Overview

by Geraldine S.

in Global Trade, Trade Policies

Recent developments have seen a notable shift in Pakistan’s trade practices, particularly in its crude oil transactions. Amidst a challenging economic environment, Pakistan has opted to conduct its crude oil trade using the Chinese currency, the Renminbi (RMB). This decision reflects a broader trend of economic alignment with China, including reliance on Chinese loans and investments. In June 2023, Pakistan secured a $2.3 billion loan from China, aimed at strengthening its foreign reserves and averting potential default.

This move is part of a larger trend of increasing economic cooperation with China, highlighted by the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). CPEC, a key component of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), entails a $62 billion investment in energy and infrastructure projects in Pakistan. It aims to connect Kashgar in western China to the Arabian Sea via Gwadar, offering an alternative route for Chinese maritime trade. The decision to trade crude oil in RMB is aligned with China’s strategy to internationalize its currency. This move offers Pakistan several economic benefits, such as reducing reliance on US dollars, accessing discounted Russian oil, and potentially lowering its trade deficit.

It also opens up new trade possibilities with other countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative. However, this shift also presents certain risks and challenges. Over-reliance on a single nation like China could make Pakistan vulnerable to external economic fluctuations and policy changes. There are concerns about national security, given the potential for disruptions in oil supply and the impact on geopolitical relationships, particularly with Western allies. The decision indicates a realignment of Pakistan’s international alliances, potentially impacting its diplomatic relations. The shift to RMB for oil trade is a significant step for Pakistan, reflecting a strategic pivot in its economic and geopolitical orientation. While it presents opportunities for economic relief and new partnerships, it also involves navigating complex challenges and vulnerabilities. The long-term impact of this decision on Pakistan’s economy and international relations remains to be seen.
