BEIJING, July 15 (Xinhua) -- The internationalization of theChinese currency, the yuan or the renminbi, remains steady in thelong run Cheap Air Max Online , despite a temporary setback last year due to a volatileexchange rate and capital outflow, said a report publishedSaturday.
The RMB International Index (RII) came in at 2.26 in the lastquarter of 2016, down 29.8 percent year on year, said the reportfrom the International Monetary Institute of the Renmin Universityof China.
The index was 2.65, 3.03 and 2.78 in the first three quarters of2016.
"The retreat will not change the long-term upward trend," XiangSongzuo, deputy director of the institute Cheap Air Max Sale , said at a pressconference.
The RII, only 0.02 at the beginning of 2010, had seen a constantrising trend until hitting a peak of 3.91 in the third quarter of2015.
The report attributed the temporary setback mainly to the yuan'sweakening role in cross-border settlement amid flagging globaltrade and investment.
The yuan fell to sixth place among most-used world paymentcurrencies at the end of 2016 with a market share of 1.67 percent,down from 2.31 percent at the end of 2015, according to theBelgium-based Society for Worldwide Interbank FinancialTelecommunication.
Xiang said his long-term bullish stance on the yuan'sinternationalization was based on the country's financial reformsand opening up, a solid national economy, and outward-lookingstrategies including the Belt and Road Initiative.
"The financial markets Cheap Air Max White , which have opened wider to the rest ofthe world, have become the core driving force of the yuan's globaljourney," Xiang said.
A bond connect between the Chinese mainland and Hong Kongstarted operation early this month, granting easier access to theworld's third largest bond market. Similar stock links that openedin 2014 and 2016 prompted the MSCI's planned inclusion of 222Chinese large cap stocks into its emerging markets index inJune.
The International Monetary Fund in October officially added theyuan to its Special Drawing Rights, a recognition of the currency'sglobal position.
To further step up the yuan's global drive, Xiang advisedmeasures including continued financial opening up, support foroutbound direct investment and improved financialinfrastructure.
"There will be risks accompanying the internationalizationprocess Cheap Air Max Shoes , so that is why I propose setting up more diversederivatives and tools to mitigate the risks," he said.
Yaseen Anwar, former governor of Pakistan State Bank,highlighted the need for Chinese currency to join the world'sdominant currencies.
"Many banks in the world were affected in the last financialcrisis because of one currency, so there needs to be a multi-polarmulti-currency world to allow the volatility to be managed bycentral banks around the world," he said.
"RMB, which has the backing of the world's second largesteconomy Cheap Air Max , will become a dominant currency, but it takes time,because its usability and concept have not been accepted by manypeople," he said.
With the currency-swap agreement, the Belt and Road Initiative,and infrastructure financing in the next twenty or thirty years,the RMB will become more freely usable and more acceptable topeople Cheap Nike Air Max Womens , particularly in the emerging market, he added.
The RII comprehensively takes the currency's functions ofpricing, settlement and international reserves into account. Theinternationalization level of currencies, from low to high, rangesfrom zero to 100.
