China's policy banks signed a series of yuan-denominated loans Wednesday at the latest Belt and Road Initiative forum in Beijing.

Beijing's yuan lending spree marks another step to internationalize the yuan and de-dollarize global finance, while also contrasting with its prior BRI loans, which were mostly denominated in greenbacks.
