In this regard, the central bank president Fai-Nan Perng stressed that ” the central bank needs to do the right thing ” and stressed ” this is a very very relaxed fine-tuning and will not affect the general mortgage.”

Fai-Nan Perng emphasized the main reason the Central Bank Council decided to raise interest incorporates three major factors. First, continuing global economic recovery , benefit from the emerging countries of Asia and other major trading partners needs to heat up, China’s exports and investment to expand the company and unemployment situation has also gradually improved. This is coupled with a moderate increase in private consumption , making this yearly quarter’s economic growth rate of 13.27% . In addition there has been a  better than expected  economic performance of domestic and foreign institutions that have revised Taiwan’s economic growth forecast this year. In May this year, the Bureau of Statistics reported the economic growth rate to be 4.72% of the original estimate and was revised to 6.14 percent .

Second, with the warming of global demand , pushing up oil and other international raw material market , the domestic retail market prices all reflect the cost increase , from January to May this year, which is the domestic consumer price (CPI) annual growth rate of 1.19%. DGBAS forecast for this year by the CPI annual rate of 1.27% was revised to 1.4%.

Third, since the second half last year , because domestic economy has warmed , the central bank gradually exited its quantitative easing policy allowing bank excess reserve positions to be reduced to normal levels. This has been connected with a gradual increase in the overnight rate , M2 growth target zone annual growth rate back to the middle Value in the vicinity  since April this year.

China Ends Yuan’s Special Connection to the Dollar

June 20th, 2010

China- In what maybe the most important trade and investment news in the last week, China has done what many had felt they were going to do for some time…end the Doallar’s exclusivity in relationship to the Yuan.  Below is the press release from the People’s Bank of China:

Further Reform the RMB Exchange Rate Regime and Enhance the RMB Exchange Rate Flexibility

In view of the recent economic situation and financial market developments at home and abroad, and the balance of payments (BOP) situation in China, the People´s Bank of China has decided to proceed further with reform of the RMB exchange rate regime and to enhance the RMB exchange rate flexibility.

Starting from July 21, 2005, China has moved into a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies. Since then, the reform of the RMB exchange rate regime has been making steady progress, producing the anticipated results and playing a positive role.

When the current round of international financial crisis was at its worst, the exchange rate of a number of sovereign currencies to the U.S. dollar depreciated by varying margins. The stability of the RMB exchange rate has played an important role in mitigating the crisis´ impact, contributing significantly to Asian and global recovery, and demonstrating China´s efforts in promoting global rebalancing.

The global economy is gradually recovering. The recovery and upturn of the Chinese economy has become more solid with the enhanced economic stability. It is desirable to proceed further with reform of the RMB exchange rate regime and increase the RMB exchange rate flexibility.

In further proceeding with reform of the RMB exchange rate regime, continued emphasis would be placed to reflecting market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies. The exchange rate floating bands will remain the same as previously announced in the inter-bank foreign exchange market.

China´s external trade is steadily becoming more balanced. The ratio of current account surplus to GDP, after a notable reduction in 2009, has been declining since the beginning of 2010. With the BOP account moving closer to equilibrium, the basis for large-scale appreciation of the RMB exchange rate does not exist. The People´s Bank of China will further enable market to play a fundamental role in resource allocation, promote a more balanced BOP account, maintain the RMB exchange rate basically stable at an adaptive and equilibrium level, and achieve the macroeconomic and financial stability in China.

Many pundits have already begun commenting on this move and the possible consequences for the United States whose economy is close tied to China’s.  Of course with all the “guesses” one thing is clear and that is China is recognizing more and more that it need not be shackled by economies that appear to have hit a decline.  For those who are investing in China, this bodes very well for the future.
