About British Pound Sterling
The British Pound Sterling (GBP), symbolised by the pound sign "£", is the world's oldest currency still in use, with roots dating to Anglo-Saxon England in the 8th century. It is the fourth most traded currency in global forex markets and the third largest reserve currency after the US Dollar and Euro. The Bank of England, established in 1694, is the world's second oldest central bank and manages UK monetary policy. The pound is divided into 100 pence. Following Brexit in 2020, the UK maintains full monetary independence.
About Chinese Yuan
The Chinese Yuan (CNY), also known as the Renminbi (RMB, meaning "people's currency"), is the official currency of the People's Republic of China. Introduced in 1949 when the People's Republic was founded, it replaced multiple currencies issued by various warlords and governments. The People's Bank of China manages monetary policy using a managed floating exchange rate with reference to a basket of currencies. The yuan became an IMF Special Drawing Rights (SDR) reserve currency in 2016, recognising China's role as the world's second largest economy.
