Abstract

The foreign exchange rate system adopted by China in July 2005 can be characterized as a manage floating system based on the BBC rules-band, basket and crawl. However, the authorities have continued to suppress the yuan's rise against the dollar by intervening in the foreign exchange market, and the C in BBC has looked more like control than crawl.

Keywords: yuan, band, basket, crawl

JEL Classification: F31
