Yuan’s Slow Rise Could Mean Trouble for Western Economies
GIS, 2015
Aperçu
The Chinese yuan’s inclusion in the IMF’s Special Drawing Rights could have real-world implications for global finance.
Recommendation
The yuan’s inclusion in the International Monetary Fund’s Special Drawing Rights solidifies China’s place as the world’s third-largest economic superpower, behind the United States and the European Union. At first blush, the IMF’s decision appears little more than a symbolic triumph for China. But as this thought-provoking article from economist Enrico Colombatto reveals, the decision may be far more significant for China and the global economy’s future than many expect. getAbstract recommends this brief but cogent essay to policy makers and executives.
