More Flexible Yuan
China’s central bank governor， Zhou Xiaochuan， said that China would continue to promote an exchange rate mechanism which meets higher market economy standards in the next stage.
In this regard， China will continue to promote a more flexible exchange rate， free flows in capital and current accounts， facilitate smoother convertibility between the Chinese currency and foreign currencies， and provide more riskmanagement instruments for both domestic and international investors， Zhou said at the Michel Camdessus Central Banking Lecture held by the International Monetary Fund （IMF） on June 24. In the question and answer session， Zhou said that these moves could also help deepen the connection between the Chinese economy and the global economy， as China was becoming more integrated into the world economy.
China is reducing unnecessary controls over the exchange rate market and introducing more riskmanagement instruments， such as foreign exchange swaps and derivatives， to help Chinese businesses and citizens prepare for the possibility of a more volatile exchange rate market， said Zhou.
The IMF last year approved the inclusion of the Chinese currency， the yuan， into its Special Drawing Rights （SDR） basket as a fifth currency along with the U.S. dollar， the euro， the Japanese yen and the British pound， marking a milestone in the yuan’s global march.
Zhou said that China is expecting the wider use of the SDR and is taking measures to promote the freer use of the yuan in trade， investment and financial markets in an effort to reduce barriers for SDR users.
