A Flexible Domestic Market Target of Chinese Forex regulators

An accommodating local currency market that is both open and competitive to curb the impact of capital flows and manage international remittances according to the foreign exchange regulator. The State Administration of Foreign Exchange aims for tighter control in capital outflow which in turn would affect the value of yuan and pull it down as well as the forex reserves.

They have established a listing referred as “negative list” which would include sectors in the forex market which would be restricted.  They also mentioned that the cross-border capital flow management will be included in the systemic risk assessment system of banks to enhance its policy tools in opposite to the current cycle of cross-border finances.
