China's FX forwards measure is not capital control: central bank
[BEIJING] China's central bank defended on Tuesday new regulations imposed on the currency forwards market this month, saying they were not a form of capital control and were introduced after investors had speculated in the market.
The controls would help to stabilise China's financial system at a time when increased yuan volatility is likely to cause more companies to incur foreign exchange losses, the People's Bank of China said in a statement on its website.
