    China's forex reserves drop, hit a 6-year low
  • China's foreign exchange reserves dropped by $41 billion to $3.011 trillion, the lowest since March 2011.

    The country's foreign exchange regulator said that the drop in reserves was the result of efforts to stabilize the weakening yuan.

    According to some estimates from analysts, China needs to retain a minimum of $2.6 trillion to $2.8 trillion under the IMF's (International Monetary Fund) adequacy measures.

    Devaluation and weakening of yuan

    Devaluation and weakening of yuan
  • In Aug 2015, the Central bank of China devalued yuan by about 2%, a step to deflate the currency which was widely seen as overvalued after years of steady appreciation.

    Further cheaper yuan meant making Chinese goods more competitive in overseas markets, thus enabling increase in exports.

    Since devaluation, yuan weakened by more than 10% against dollar and by 7% overall.

    Credits:
  • While China wanted its currency to be weaker enough to boost economy, the continuous downward spiral of renminbi was undesirable.

    The diminishing confidence in yuan caused more money leaving China.

    An estimated $762 billion exited the country from Jan-Nov 2016.

    Policymakers have been trying to balance the need to use yuan to increase growth against need to prevent too much money from leaving country.
