China’s Yuan Takes Leap Toward Joining IMF Currency Basket

The Yuan was just endorsed by Christine Legarde as a potential currency to be added to the IMF’s special drawing rights basket. If this recommendation by Legarde is acted on by the board, the Yuan would be on par with the Dollar, Euro and other reserve currencies, strengthening China’s financial position on the world stage. 

Whether or not these moves by China are for the benefit of humanity remains unclear. Some have suggested that the players behind this move are pushing for their 100 years of power, which may not bode well for freedom seeking peoples.

China’s yuan moved closer to joining other top global currencies in the International Monetary Fund’s benchmark foreign exchange basket on Friday after Fund staff and IMF chief Christine Lagarde gave the move the thumbs up.

The recommendation paves the way for the Fund’s executive board, which has the final say, to place the yuan CNY=CFXS CNY=on a par with the U.S. dollar .DXY, Japanese yen JPY=, British pound GBP= and euro EUR= at a meeting scheduled for Nov. 30.

Joining the Special Drawing Rights (SDR) basket would be a victory for Beijing, which has campaigned hard for the move, and could increase demand for the yuan among reserve managers as well as marking a symbolic coming of age for the world’s second-largest economy.


Staff had found the yuan, also known as the renminbi (RMB), met the criteria of being “freely usable,” or widely used for international transactions and widely traded in major foreign exchange markets, Lagarde said.

“I support the staff’s findings,” she said in a statement immediately welcomed by China’s central bank, which said it hoped the international community would also back the yuan’s inclusion.
Staff also gave the green light to Beijing’s efforts to address operational issues identified in a report in July, Lagarde said.

The executive board, which represents the Fund’s 188 members, is seen as unlikely to go against a staff recommendation and countries including France and Britain have already pledged their support for the change. This would take effect in October 2016, during China’s leadership of the Group of 20 bloc of advanced and emerging economies.

China has rolled out a flurry of reforms recently to liberalize its markets and also help the yuan meet the IMF’s checklist, including scrapping a ceiling on deposit rates, issuing three-month Treasury bills weekly and improving the transparency of Chinese data.

International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde said Friday that she supports the findings in her staff’s proposal to include China’s yuan in its Special Drawing Rights currency basket.

“I support the staff’s findings,” she said in a statement.

Lagarde said she will chair a meeting of the IMF’s executive board on Nov. 30 to consider the yuan’s inclusion in the basket.

Beijing has pushed for the yuan to join the basket as part of its long-term strategic goal of reducing dependence on the dollar and to mark the country’s coming of age as an economic power.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
