Market-oriented pricing will help prevent excessive swings; China not eyeing a currency war
Shanghai
THE yuan will probably move in both directions in the future following last week's devaluation as the economy stabilises, according to Ma Jun, chief economist at China's central bank.
A more market-oriented pricing mechanism for the yuan will help to avoid excessive deviation from the equilibrium level and significantly reduce the possibility of sudden fluctuations, Mr Ma said in an e-mailed statement on Sunday. The economy will probably grow about 7 per cent this year, he said.
