| Zhou Xiao Chuan: good timing |
China’s long-awaited revaluation of its currency, the renminbi, has had a modest impact on the international financial markets. However, the move, which saw the renminbi revauled upwards by 2.1% in June, looks well timed. The new system, which sees the renminbi managed against a basket of currencies as opposed to being held at a fixed rate against the dollar, is suitably flexible for China’s immediate purposes. At the same time, it panders somewhat to the China-bashers in the US Congress, the more vociferous of whom had been barking for a revaluation of more than 25%.
