The Chinese yuan progress rapidly to reserve status

The Chinese yuan progresses rapidly to the status of a reserve currency. Today it is the 7th most used currency in the world, up from 13th in 2012.  18% of China’s trade is now settled in Yuan, but this is expect to rise to 30% next year. 

The major barrier to reserve currency status is currency controls.  When will China enact full convertibility?  That would be the end of the US dollar’s quasi-exclusive reserve status.
