China Not to Actively Debase Yuan Rate

　　The People's Bank of China's governor Zhou Xiaochuan says the Renminbi won't be actively¹ depreciated² to regain³ national competitiveness.

 

　　Zhou was speaking during a recent International Monetary⁴ Conference in Shanghai, when he also suggested that now maybe a good time to promote interest rate reform.

 

　　The Chinese yuan has risen almost 17 percent against the Japanese yen⁵ since the start of the year.

 

　　The Ministry⁶ of Commerce has repeatedly expressed concerns about weak exports due to a fast appreciating yuan.

 

　　Zhou also says the government is monitoring a massive movement of global capital, and says they're keeping a close eye on speculative⁷ capital inflows.

 

　　For more on currency exchange rate issue, Paul James earlier spoke⁸ with Mark Hughes, Executive business editor of China Daily.
