China takes firm steps to prevent exchange rate overshooting: central bank governor
China DailyXinhua| Updated :2024-06-20 SHANGHAI -- China has taken firm steps to prevent the risks of exchange rate overshooting, said Pan Gongsheng, governor of the People's Bank of China, on Wednesday. The RMB exchange rate has remained basically stable in complicated circumstances, Pan said at the 15th Lujiazui Forum held in Shanghai. Letting the market play a decisive role in the formation of exchange rates, China's central bank has maintained the flexibility of the exchange rate, while strengthening guidance of expectations and taking firm steps to prevent the risks of exchange rate overshooting, Pan said. These factors combined will help keep the RMB exchange rate basically stable and balance cross-border capital flows, thereby gaining more space for China's monetary policy maneuvers, Pan said.
