China|PBoC’s exchange rate reform is to usher volatility but not sharp RMB depreciation

Summary

Today, the PBoC announced a reform of the RMB exchange rate formation mechanism, seeking to increase the flexibility of the exchange rate. In particular, the daily opening fixing rate of the RMB will be directly formed by market makers, namely 35 large banks designated by the authorities, in China’s onshore FX market instead of being set by the PBoC previously.
