China to open its onshore currency market to foreign central banks
Move will help further Beijing's push for yuan to join IMF's basket of reserve currencies
Beijing

The country will keep the yuan stable at a reasonable, equilibrium level, Premier Li Keqiang said while announcing the easing of controls during a speech at a World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting on Thursday.
