4:17Now PlayingAudrey Childe-Freeman, Chief FX Strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, examines how tariff uncertainty is bleeding into currency markets.
Volatile US tariff policy is accelerating efforts in Africa to reduce reliance on the dollar in trade settlements, with companies exploring greater use of China’s renminbi and local currencies, the head of pan-African lender Ecobank Transnational Inc. said.

Trade between the two was $83.4 billion in 2025, about 16% more than the previous year, according to US Census Bureau data. That pales in comparison with $315 billion of flows between the continent and China, according to estimates by Ecobank’s economists.
