1. What are the implications of China’s exchange rate policy on doing business with and “against” China? Since July 21, 2005, China has adopted a managed floating rate regime based on market supply and demand with reference to a basket of undisclosed currency. The daily trading price of the U.S. dollar against RMB in the foreign exchange market will be allowed to float within a band of +/->0.3% around the central parity published by People’s Bank of China. The signal was initially interpreted by the international market as an indication that China would embark on a gradual shift toward increased flexibility which eventually adopt a floating exchange rate regime where the RMB will appreciate much against US dollar. However, they soon …show more content…
The change in the exchange rate policy to move to a more flexible floating exchange rate system will inevitably compromise China’s current advantageous position in trading especially the export which takes a heavy weight in China’s GDP. The appreciation of RMB will deprive the Chinese enterprises of the advantage to leverage the cheap materials and labor to compete in the international market. This might be a positive indication for China’s importers who has a focus on the domestic markets rather than the international market, where the importers’ purchasing power gets enhanced if the domestic currency appreciate. However, China is still heavily relying on export to grow their GDP at this point and a revaluation of RMB would be very dangerous for the country. Thousands of factories counting on exports might be closed and millions of workers would lose their jobs. As pointed out by Morgan Stanley Economist Andy Xie in the case, “China’s priority is stability and currency flexibility should not be allowed to conflict with this goal”. On the flip side though, a revaluation of the RMB would not necessarily change the current situation of US and EU who had a large trade deficit with China. The reduced imports from China are unlikely to stimulate the growth of the domestic productions of those
A country such as China might choose to peg their currency to the U.S. dollar to keep prices stable for a key trading partner like the U.S. If the U.S. dollar would appreciate considerably against most currencies, this would not affect China trade with the U.S., but Chinese goods would become more expensive to their other trading partners, and could cause Chinese exports to these other markets to decrease.
In conclusion, I think that China should change its policy because it is damaging not only the U.S. economy but the economy globally. Countries such as the United States are still recovering from the economic recession we are still leaving in. It is obvious that if China let the Yuan appreciate their exports will decrease and imports will increase making their trade surplus to decrease. If this happens international countries will be grateful because by this happening means that their export will increase and employment will increase. Countries should avoid doing currency manipulation or artificially devaluing their currency because it just hurts the global economy and it promotes other countries to do the same – it hurts everyone.
China became a communist country because it offered opportunities for the peasants to own their own farms, industries and businesses, china became a communist country because the chinese people were tired of wars and fighting after being under the rule of warlords around 1916 many chinese began joining revolutionary groups and politicals parties in hopes of changing their country during and after the Great Revolution China saw several movements which forced a moved to communism in 192, China became a communist state in 1949 under the leadership of chairman Mao. This then prevented the Sino-Soviet treaty to be made, Stalin saw an opportunity due to this, America believed China threatened the security of their nations, America then did not want communism to spread in the world we live in. The cold war tensions between the United states and the USSR eventually exploded in Korea when the soviet backed North Korea invaded South Korea in 1950 this determined to not let communism to spread in east asia from here truman order military spending and ordered General MacArthur to retake the southern half in peninsula. MacArthur success then pushed North Korea almost up to the Chinese border this threatened over million soldiers from Communist China in Korea.
Which goes back on how the dollar is back up. Another deal that countries see is that they can also exchange the Yuan which they have, to the federal banks of China into gold since their money is control in a gold standard economy.
China, the largest growing market in the world, currently has a policy regarding monetary regulation that allows the Yuan to “float”. This has seen the Yuan appreciate by approximately 24% over the past few years. Today, the exchange rate between the Chinese Yuan and the American Dollar is approximately 6.3 Yuan to 1 Dollar. Some argue that China should revalue the Yuan again the dollar, establishing a more fixed exchange rate. Others believe that current should allow
WTO rules and regulations will help smooth out the effect of different policy shifts in various governments; mainly in dealing with the nuisance of the U.S.’s yearly criticism of their human rights record while China attempts to regain MFN status. This greater stability will attract foreign investors in China’s exports and Domestic enterprises. These investors will bring with them new capital, new management, access to global production and distribution, and most importantly new information and technology. These new investors will also help reform China’s economy. Companies will now be punished or rewarded with bankruptcy or new trade depending on their management and profitability. This will motivate companies to stream line production and become more aggressive in their sales.
The appreciation of the RMB issue has attracted attention of various circles at home and abroad. By analyzing the current RMB exchange rate appreciation on China’s economic impact at all levels, I will mainly from the industrial structure, export structure, and enterprises to change their operational mechanism, to ease trade tensions and the effectiveness of monetary policy five-pronged approach to analysis; and my final conclusion: RMB exchange-rate appreciation generated by the final result is more positive than negative, impact is positive. In the current context of the appreciation has become a fact, china should actively take the appropriate follow-up measures to stabilize and optimize the economic environment, to minimize possible
China has pegged its currency against the U.S. dollar. If demand for dollars decreases (THERE IS PRESSURE FOR THE U.S. DOLLAR TO DEPRECIATE. IN THIS SETTING, CHINA HAS TO PURCHASE
Finally given the slowing economy in Asia the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has reclassified the yuan. Previously the IMF considered it to be “substantially undervalued” compared to other currencies. The IMF has softened its tone toward the Chinese yuan and it is now considered “moderately undervalued”. This new designation makes it harder for the United States government to make a case against and therefore policies to target the imports based on the Chinese yuan. (Davis, 2012)
´´Currency manipulation is the cause of the U.S. trade deficit with China´´ (Geithner, 2009 p8, Morrison 2009, p3, Feenstra 2006, p29 ) is one of the most common claims that economists make when regarding the current trade relationship between U.S. and China. Although several economic policy reforms have contributed to the management of the RMB (Chinese currency), the statement ´´ the larger China’s external surplus is, the more undervalued is the Yuan´´ established by Zhe (2007 p11) seems to clarify that China´s currency is being manipulated by the government. This kind these strategies in order to enhance its competitiveness. This currency manipulation is becoming a difficulty for U.S and China´s
monetary policy of devaluing the Yuan and the threat of the Federal Reserve raising interest
In our quickly expanding global economy, how states execute trade is more important than ever. Global organizations like the International Monetary Fund are established to help the states trade and regulate trade currencies. These global organizations are not always efficient, and can lead to imbalances in trade currency. “For more than a decade, the U.S. and other countries castigated China for its currency policy, saying the yuan’s level gave the country’s exporters an unfair advantage at the expense of its trading partners (Talley 1).” Since free trade always seems to result in trade deficits that are detrimental to the United States, the discussion should center on correcting the trade imbalance in an effort to have these free trade treaties fairer for all sides by imposing tariffs on China.
In recent years, China’s balance of payments always keeps “double favorable balance”. In 2005, China’s national economy developed quickly and stably. The exchange rat of RMB became more flexible. The current account surplus increased obviously and the capital account surplus decreased. The foreign exchange reserve still increased quickly. In 2005, Chinese government did some fiscal policy and monetary policy. Such as decreased government expense, raise the tax rate, used managed floating system, improve the foreign exchange management, enlarged the foreign exchange market. We can conclude that china’s BOP will still keep “double favorable balance” and keep
Our Currency, Your Problem is a case involving the issue of exchange rate regimes and the impact currency manipulation has on economies and trade. The United States and Europe argued that the Renminbi (RMB) was undervalued and claimed that the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) deliberately manipulated the exchange rate to lower the prices of exports, which caused the US and Europe to run huge trade deficits with China.
With China's deepening Opening Up and economic restructure adjustment and the continuous appreciation of RMB in recent years, the
