Group 1 - The report highlights that the current geopolitical economic risks stem from the concentrated outbreak of internal contradictions within the global economic and financial landscape, which will continue to deepen. Promoting the internationalization of the Renminbi (RMB) and driving reforms in the international monetary system are seen as important directions to mitigate these risks [1][2]. - The Renminbi Internationalization Index (RII) shows an upward trend, indicating that the internationalization of the Renminbi is gradually adjusting the international monetary landscape. The RII values for the four quarters of 2024 are reported as 4.84, 7.40, 6.30, and 5.68, with an annual average of 6.06, reflecting an approximate 11% increase from the 2023 average of 5.46 [1][2]. - The report identifies the U.S. dollar-dominated international monetary financial system as a "center-periphery" network structure, with the U.S. being the main source of global geopolitical economic risks. The U.S. government can exploit its unique privileges associated with the dollar, using unilateral policies as economic weapons against other countries [2]. Group 2 - Geopolitical economic risks negatively impact China's real economy and financial markets, as well as the international trade investment system, global supply chains, and international financial markets. The internationalization of the Renminbi is viewed as an effective response to these risks [2]. - The report notes that the fragmentation of cross-border payment networks is becoming more pronounced due to geopolitical economic risks. While the dollar's international monetary status may be temporarily reinforced, the rise of regional and local currency settlements will exert long-term pressure on dollar hegemony [3]. - The report emphasizes the need for countries, including China, to prepare for the impacts of geopolitical economic risks initiated by central countries. It also calls for seeking fundamental solutions to these risks through perspectives such as great power strategic competition, international monetary system reform, and global financial governance reform [3].
