Exchange Rate in China
The Chinese yuan experienced a depreciation against the US dollar over the last decade, with periods of volatility. While facing depreciatory pressure due to trade tensions, economic slowdown at home, and investor concerns over the domestic property sector plus state intervention in the economy, the yuan's movements were largely contained by the People's Bank of China. This reflected the government's focus on maintaining economic stability and avoiding excessive volatility in the exchange rate. The exchange rate ended 2022 at CNY 6.90 per USD, compared to the end-2021 value of CNY 6.35 per USD. For more exchange rate information, visit our dedicated page.
