As India continues to purchase Russian crude oil despite Donald Trump’s additional 25% tariff, Indian refiners now have started making payments to Russia in China currency Yuan.
The Indian rupee (INR, ₹) held steady against the U.S. dollar in 2023, depreciating just 0.5% to end the year at 83.17 per USD. Notably, the Chinese yuan and the Korean won, currencies of current account surplus nations, depreciated by nearly 3%.
