Increasing RMB Exchange Rate Flexibility Gradually Becomes Consensus
ANBOUND
After years of continuously rising of Renminbi, China has become more and more willingly to let Renminbi depreciate moderately and increase the flexibility of RMB exchange rate at the same time. ANBOUND think tank scholars believe that even if RMB adopts depreciation strategy and increase its exchange rate flexibility, the range should be limited. Correspondingly, Chinese domestic easy monetary should have RMB exchange rate stability as its precondition and try to avoid participating in the process of "competitive devaluation". Both economic development and foreign investment should be taken into consideration when it comes to deciding whether Renminbi will appreciate or depreciate. The best method is giving decision-making rights back to the market.
