    'China-made' trading troubles
    Credits:
  • The slump in markets all over the world can be attributed to the 'global sell-off' as worries about China's economy deepened.

    Official figures show the Chinese economy was growing at 7% in the second quarter, which is slow by Chinese standards.

    Also the devaluation of its currency would be seen as a distress signal from Beijing, alarming potential investors from making investments in China.

  • Information

    What is devaluation?

  • Devaluation means lowering the value of a currency against the goods, services and similar monetary units to which the currency can be exchanged. Only the monetary authority of a nation can devalue a currency.

    Why did China devalue its currency?

    Why did China devalue its currency?
  • The slowdown of Chinese economy meant reduced exports in the country whose growth model is investment-and-exports-driven.

    A low industrial production, investment and retail sales data in the month of July pushed China to address the issue of slowdown.

    This propelled the 'devaluation' of Yuan by China's Central Bank by nearly 2% against the US dollar for the second time in two days.

  • Do you know?

    What’s in a name?

  • Chinese currency is called Yuan-Renminbi and both the names are valid. "Renminbi" means "the people's currency". "Yuan" is the unit of "Renminbi". This is similar to the Pound-Sterling currency of Britain.

    What does the Yuan devaluation mean for India?

    What does the Yuan devaluation mean for India?
  • Assocham said Yuan's devaluation could lead to a full-fledged "currency war".

    Devaluation could affect India in three ways. First, it affects the volatility of rupee inducing a fall in its value, making imports costlier.

    The fact that China and India compete for several export items will go against domestic exporters.

    Finally, there is also a fear of dumping of Chinese goods in Indian market.
