Chinese currency may decline further, while monetary policy is also likely to be affected China's monetary policy and the renminbi's value face major uncertainties in the capital marketafter the US Federal Reserve's first interest rate rise in 10 years, according to economists. This is especially the case as few indicators point to a reversal in the country's economicslowdown, they said. The Fed decision, announced by chairwoman Janet Yellen on Wednesday, saw it raise rates to25-50 basis points from 0-25. Emerging economies, especially China, will be most affected by the rate rise, according toresearch by Goldman Sachs. The renminbi may fall further against the US dollar, devaluing renminbi-denominated assets andtriggering increased capital outflows, economists said. The yuan fell against the dollar for the ninth consecutive day on Thursday, with the daily referenceexchange rate being adjusted to 6.4757 per dollar from 6.4626 a day earlier. The renminbi has dropped by 1.4 percent against the dollar in two weeks. According to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, China's top foreign exchangeregulator, Chinese banks bought foreign exchange worth $116.7 billion last month and sold$171.5 billion, expanding the deficit to $54.8 billion from $20.1 billion in October, indicatingaccelerated capital outflows. about Us: Company:Meifeng Factory Supply portable wardrobe,metal hanger,shoe rack and other home furniture products.

Read MoreLarge trade surplus and strong foreign direct investment are positive factors, officialsays There is no reason to worry about a long-term depreciation of the renminbi, a senior official saidon Thursday, after the central bank lowered the daily fixed exchange rate to a four-year low of6.4236 yuan per US dollar. Wang Yungui, head of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange's policy and regulationdepartment, believes that the country's strong balance of payments position-reflected by a largetrade surplus and stable foreign direct investment-will prevent a sharp fall in the currency. Depreciation pressure on the renminbi, however, might have accelerated capital outflows sinceNovember, Wang said. Last month, foreign exchange reserves dropped by $87.2 billion to $3.44trillion, the lowest level since February 2013. "That decline in reserves can be tolerated, as well as the amount and speed of recent cross-border capital outflows," he said. Wang said China is studying financial tools, such as a "Tobin tax"-a currency transaction tax oncross-border capital-to limit outflows. Such a measure could be applied in the future to curbpotential risks when the market is further opened. The current depreciation pressure on the renminbi originates in part from market expectations ofan increase in the US Federal Reserve interest rate, combined with slowing economic growthmomentum in China. The renminbi's onshore spot rate, which was limited to a maximum 2 percent move up or downaround the reference rate, extended a five-day drop, reaching 6.4433 yuan per dollar by noon onThursday, the lowest level since Aug 13 when the People's Bank of China announced it wouldswitch to a new exchange rate regime based on the currency'...

Read MoreThe Chinese mainland is likely to avoid the middle-income trap and become the third high-income economy in five years after South Korea and Taiwan that went through the sameprocess, the Beijing News reported on Monday Many developing countries are faced with the possibility of getting stuck in low- or middle-incometrap, but China will be able to avoid that by 2020, the report said citing Justin Lin Yifu, a Chineseeconomist and professor at Peking University. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, China's per capita GDP stood at $7,575 in 2014,a growth rate of 12 percent compared with that a year earlier. China's growth rate of per capita GDP is much faster than that of developed countries' 2 percentaverage, which makes it possible for the second-largest economy to catch up, said Lin during thefirst Great Minds China Forum on Saturday. He added that altogether 13 middle-income economies had succeeded in edging themselvesinto high-income ones between the year 1950 and 2008, among which only five were Asiancountries. The five are Japan and the "Four Asian Tigers" - Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea andTaiwan. about Us: Company:Meifeng Factory Supply portable wardrobe,metal hanger,shoe rack and other home furniture products.
