人民幣佔全球支付的份額小幅升高

The renminbi grew its share of international transactions – if only slightly – as the US dollar ceded ground to the euro in September.

9月，人民幣在國際交易中的份額有所增加——只是增幅很小；同時，美元的一些份額被歐元奪走。

The Chinese currency accounted for 2.03 per cent of international transactions via the Swift global bank payment messaging network last Month, up from 1.86 per cent in August.

上月，在經由Swift全球銀行支付信息網絡的國際交易中，人民幣的份額達到2.03%，高於8月的1.86%。

That reading from the partial measure of the currency’s international prominence puts it closer to its January peak of 2.45 per cent this year and a record level of 2.79 per cent reached in August 2015.

在某種程度上，此份額是衡量某國貨幣的國際重要性的一項指標。9月人民幣的份額，朝着今年1月2.45%的峯值、以及2015年8月創下的最高紀錄2.79%，靠近了一些。

Vina Cheung, Asia Pacific head of Rmb internationalisation, global liquidity and cash management at HSBC, pointed to further gains by the Chinese currency in payments made by individual countries:

匯豐(HSBC)亞太人民幣國際化、全球流動性與現金管理業務主管張捷(Vina Cheung)表示，個別國家在支付中對人民幣的使用進一步增加。

More and more countries are “crossing the river” and making use of the renminbi for a meaningful share of their payments with Hong Kong and China. The latest SWIFT data shows the Chinese currency continuing to gain critical mass in global payments with another seven nations using renminbi for more than 10% of their direct payments with Hong Kong and China.

越來越多的國家正在“跨過河流”，人民幣在它們與香港和中國內地的支付業務中已佔到了相當的比例。最新的Swift數據顯示，人民幣繼續在全球支付獲得關鍵規模：又出現了七個國家，在它們與香港和中國內地的直接支付中，人民幣份額達到10%以上。

As a share of total swift payments the Rmb remains comfortably in sixth place. September saw US dollar dominance recede by almost 1.5 percentage points to 41.08 per cent as the euro remained in second, gaining almost 1 per cent to account for 31.24 per cent of the total. Other moves among the top ten currencies were relatively marginal, however.

人民幣佔Swift總支付量的份額，仍牢牢地保持在全球第六位。9月，占主導地位的美元的份額下降了近1.5個百分點，至41.08%，而歐元的份額仍位居第二，增加了近1個百分點，至31.24%。然而，在全球前十大貨幣中，其他貨幣的份額變化相對較小。
