Yam backs yuan as international currency <br />
21-06-2010<br />
<br />
The former head of the Monetary Authority, Joseph Yam, says China should internationalise the yuan -- and should do so quickly. <br />
<br />
Mr Yam - who's an adviser to the People's Bank of China - says with China's economic growth rate and its proven track record of effective macro-economic management, the yuan could be "the third leg of the international monetary system". <br />
<br />
He says currently the US dollar and the Euro are structurally unstable and many have argued for another alternative currency that would command international confidence.沙田 亞伯http://www.blogger.com/profile/00664000412878699595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5501770847456694530.post-83690356784969008422010-06-21T17:45:00.000+08:002010-06-21T17:45:11.778+08:00Yuan hits five-year high against dollar<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/WAmLD8Vrik0YUSiAxyJG8A?authkey=Gv1sRgCK-EpPacoqaXoAE&feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5aBV6B9-tTI0oI9waTAt9q5X728KYKFJcjbC3GOYiviBrAev1ZDkeD1uxeckcKFWQrgfHah9woDM4g7j2endA2AM6sfQcIxOjfE_GnCY_Jvi89kvu6mv_QAA0tZ_RYRADKEBSIak36CdS/s800/%E4%BA%BA%E6%B0%91%E5%B9%A3-2222222222222222.jpg" /></a><br />

<br />
Yuan hits five-year high against dollar <br />
21-06-2010<br />
<br />
The yuan has hit its highest level against the US dollar for five years, after policymakers pledged to make the currency more flexible. <br />
<br />
The yuan surged to 6.8089 to the dollar on the nation's main foreign exchange trading market - its highest level since July 2005. <br />
<br />
The People's Bank of China said on Saturday that it would "strengthen the flexibility" of the yuan exchange rate. <br />
<br />
But at the same time, it said there would be no "large swings" in the currency and no one-off adjustment. <br />
<br />
The Bank today left the daily yuan reference rate unchanged at 6.8275 to the dollar.沙田 亞伯http://www.blogger.com/profile/00664000412878699595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5501770847456694530.post-85085798453688529372010-06-21T16:50:00.002+08:002010-06-21T16:50:32.335+08:00Buy Computer<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/UxL0kq5dVavambmLbA6xCviyroWit71OlX7-BN-4Jyg?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg588SdkQaW3_sNgGeoQ27DwcENgqdKfooAFBf_M11Odd78RYo1L_FGyXi5GFBMnzD0xCkRYZs8u7K9-0axuI7r5-gK51LnJg4gtCjxXG18hmdJFCDpDVeDeHjCamqS_WNfUP51fEsXeIs/s800/Computer-000-01.jpg" /></a><br />

China promptly said it would seek consultations with Washington over the duties - a preliminary step toward asking for a WTO ruling on the measures. <br /><br />The spokesman said that Beijing does not want to see the case negatively impact Sino-US ties, but added that Chinese officials would reiterate their opposition to trade protectionism at the upcoming G20 summit of world leaders in Pittsburgh. <br /><br />The Ministry said on Sunday it would launch its own investigation into chicken parts and automotive imports from the United States.沙田 亞伯http://www.blogger.com/profile/00664000412878699595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5501770847456694530.post-88099023991633166942009-05-19T14:13:00.000+08:002009-05-19T14:14:21.822+08:00Geithner says US economy stabilising<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/CO8-xem-yv5unZQ6HCGa0A?authkey=Gv1sRgCK-EpPacoqaXoAE&feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ89owwja43eeovDUtN2s7z7fYtNTkRJJtfh5GNaWqbZelmClX8-kkOaWiJjuvDX8vr8m2ywTtzH5Uk1WKqoY70Mf_wolqLrQV6IKLhIyrOp7GvV_EymYkLBwmYTYtwDVoGL4uPVU4UY9X/s800/%E8%93%8B%E7%89%B9%E7%B4%8D-11111111111111.jpg" /></a><br />Geithner says US economy stabilising <br />19-05-2009<br /><br />The American treasury secretary, Timothy Geithner, has given his most optimistic comments on the state of the country's economy since the beginning of the global financial crisis last year. <br /><br />Speaking in Washington, Mr Geithner said that the US economy had clearly stabilised but stressed that a bumpy road to recovery still lay ahead.沙田 亞伯http://www.blogger.com/profile/00664000412878699595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5501770847456694530.post-48043671298512504832009-05-19T14:02:00.001+08:002009-05-19T14:08:22.374+08:00Lula arrives in China to improve ties<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/uncleshatin/MoneyFinance?authkey=Gv1sRgCK-EpPacoqaXoAE&feat=embedwebsite#5337412859891948850"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYEoq_8HdkwsLdtAf9DaeOMvpnEYiSbGS9LN25Q3FK9Na83de0MxCkZ7zkYf6Kcm37iiJOSiHKEXiGUTnMNarSnI-kKiAolfZ6n16GKW2NFK1cqJ90Nrb-aGgrDuLYp1mz0RWfqmrvEgU_/s800/%E7%9B%A7%E6%8B%89-00000000000000000000.jpg" /></a><br />Lula arrives in China to improve ties<br />19-05-2009<br /><br />The Brazilian President, Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva, has arrived in China, as relations continue to deepen between the two giant developing economies. <br /><br />President Lula earlier called for bilateral trade to be conducted in Brazil's and China's own currencies, in a further challenge to the global dominance of the dollar.沙田 亞伯http://www.blogger.com/profile/00664000412878699595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5501770847456694530.post-29162189971981430322009-05-13T18:50:00.001+08:002009-05-13T18:53:45.565+08:00Mixed signals from mainland economy<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Rqk3aJ9ZzyaErwtH58PZCw?authkey=Gv1sRgCNjBqNmM2eKFGQ&feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_XXPKTJ9haf4/SgjrkLZAA0I/AAAAAAAAOtc/JM3PGxAR8H0/s800/APL-0000000000000.jpg" /></a><br />Mixed signals from mainland economy <br />13-05-2009<br /><br />China's factory output growth slowed in April, but the pace of retail sales growth surprisingly accelerated. "It is important not to attach too much importance to one particular data point and to recognise that any recovery in China is not going to proceed in a straight line," said Brian Jackson, an economist with Royal Bank of Canada in Hong Kong. <br /><br />"Policy stimulus is having an impact on domestic demand, but weak external demand is still dragging down overall growth," he said. Growth in factory output slowed to 7.3 percent in the 12 months to April, below analysts' forecasts of a rise of 8.3 percent, which was also the reading in March. <br /><br />The moderation was consistent with a 22.6 percent drop in China's exports last month and suggested factories may have jumped the gun in March by increaasing output and adding to inventories in expectation of orders that did not fully materialise. Zhu Baoliang, deputy director of economic forecasting at the State Information Centre, a government think-tank, called the rise of 7.3 percent "okay" and said it was no cause for concern. <br /><br />"It means the manufacturing industry is still on the path of recovery. Industrial production is stabilising, but we may also see some short-term fluctuations due to inventory adjustments," he said.沙田 亞伯http://www.blogger.com/profile/00664000412878699595noreply@blogger.com0
