China has intensified efforts to moderate the yuan’s recent appreciation by eliminating the additional charge imposed on betting against the currency in the derivatives market.
In a statement, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) announced that it will remove the reserve requirement of 20% on foreign-currency forward contracts starting from March 2.
This move aims to ease pressure on the yuan and stabilize the currency market amid ongoing fluctuations.
