Invesco brought up that "opinion encompassing the renminbi turning into a genuine reserve currency has declined year on year, with a fundamentally more prominent extent of national banks differing that it will accomplish that status in the span of five years." Furthermore, the firm focused on the fact that "hindrances like liquidity, property area obligations, and political gambles ruin the renminbi's capability to overwhelm the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency."

"Despite these concerns, central banks still expect to increase renminbi holdings over time."
