国际清算银行2013年4月的最新外汇市场调查发现，人民币-美元贸易平均交易量为每天1,130亿美元，而直接人民币-欧元交易量总共只有10亿美元，直接人民币-英镑交易量则更加稀少。
In its most recent survey of foreign-exchange markets, in April 2013, the Bank for International Settlements found that renminbi-dollar trades averaged $113 billion a day, whereas direct renminbi-euro trades totaled a mere $1 billion, while direct renminbi-sterling trades amounted to even less.
