Reform Forex Gradually
In lieu of the fragile financial systems inherent in emerging economies, Asian Development Bank (ADB) cautions China and Japan to take precautionary steps so as not to deter the progress of the upcoming regional economic integration.
ADB President Haruhiko Kuroda emphasizes the immediate need for exchange rate adjustments but notes that it should be done in gradual steps supported by the government. This support, Kuroda stressed, should be in the form of control on the flow of funds maintained to cushion the shock of making exchange rates more flexible.
Kuroda adds that relaxing capital control should come after the revaluation of the Renminbi and not before it or at the same time. Liberalizing the outflow of funds first is risky since inflows and outflows are delicately linked. Doing so makes it possible to avoid a currency or capital account crisis, which could not be afforded at this time since China’s health is too important to falter for sustainable growth of the regional and global economies.
