According to Bloomberg, the rapid depreciation of the RMB triggers external speculation that the People's Bank of China will slow down the pace of currency looseness to avoid further pressure on the RMB.
Analysts of CITIC Securities and Tianfeng Securities believe that the sharp decline in RMB means that the People's Bank of China may postpone any stimulus measures, such as reducing bank deposit reserve ratios.
Bloomberg reported that the government intends to boost the impact of the Chinese economy and the property market crisis, but its efforts may be further complicated due to the decline in the RMB exchange rate.
Since the beginning of this year, the middle price of the RMB has fallen 11.53%, and the offshore market has fallen by 13.4%.
