C/E/94. Exit from the Chinese fixed exchange rate regime

This paper considers the topical issue of the Chinese currency revaluation. It is commonly recognized that the fixed exchange rate regime adopted by the government of China leads to global imbalances and potential overheating of the Chinese economy. Moreover, analysis of the current macroeconomic conditions shows that China would be better off with a flexible exchange rate regime. This work elaborates on the most suitable exchange rate regime for China and possible ways of a transition to this regime. Additionally, a comprehensive study is undertaken which provides account of the costs and benefits associated with a new system. The essay would be interesting to those who study International Economics, International Finance and current economic issues.
