Exchange Rate in China in 2022
The control of the yuan's exchange rate in favor of China's exports is a cornerstone of its economic strategy. Unlike the majority of developed economies, China does not have a floating exchange rate that is determined by market forces. Instead, it connects its money, the yuan (also known as the renminbi), to the dollar. Due to the potential negative impacts on exports and economic growth that such a revaluation could have, China has consistently resisted demands for a significant upward revision of the yuan.
CNY and USD
The average exchange rate in 2022 was 0.1531 (CNY) against the US Dollar. Even China preserves strict capital controls, its dominance of the world economy offers a path to grow its currency's proportion in global central bank reserves, but Beijing will need to keep sizable dollar reserves for that to happen. In overseas yuan dropped to its lowest levels in almost three months against the dollar as China's central bank unexpectedly cut key lending rates to fight negative reports that exposed the country's slowing economy. This triggered the overseas yuan to weaken toward 6.80 against the dollar.
According to forecasts, the People's Bank of China reduced the interest rate on its one-year policy loans by 10 basis points to 2.75% and the rate on its seven-day reverse repos by the same amount to 2%. China was constantly accused of manipulating the value of its currency as it began to play a larger role in the world economy. According to Wind Information, the Chinese yuan has declined by around 3% this month as a result of the strengthening of the US dollar. Since the Federal Reserve began its cycle of tightening monetary policy and raising interest rates, the U.S. currency has gotten stronger. A premium that the Chinese 10-year government bond yield formerly had has been eliminated as the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield has risen to over three-year highs.
