In the latest valuation review of the Special Drawing Right-an international reserve asset also known as SDR, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) raised the weight of the renminbi in the basket of currencies that make up the SDR by 1.36 percentage points, to 12.28 percent, the People's Bank of China, the nation's central bank, said on Sunday. The SDR valuation review, completed on Wednesday, marked the first review since the renminbi was included in the SDR basket in 2016, with a share of 10.92 percent, the central bank said.
中國人民銀行5月15日發(fā)布消息稱,國際貨幣基金組織執(zhí)董會于5月11日完成對特別提款權(quán)(SDR)的定值審查,決定將人民幣在SDR貨幣籃子中的權(quán)重提高1.36個百分點,從10.92%上調(diào)至12.28%。這是自2016年人民幣"入籃"后的首次審查。
Effective Aug 1, the weight increase will allow the renminbi to continue to account for the third-largest share in the basket, behind only the US dollar and the euro, but ranking higher than the Japanese yen and the British pound.
新的SDR貨幣籃子將于今年8月1日正式生效。調(diào)整后,人民幣權(quán)重仍處在美元、歐元之后的第三位,排在日元和英鎊之前。
