The Chinese currency was selected as the focus of this study for several reasons. The primary reason behind this selection is the rising importance of the Chinese currency's valuation compared to other major world currencies. This is because of China's already large and still-growing trade presence in all global markets and the artificial nature of its currency's valuation, as the government manipulates the exchange rate for the Renminbi by tying it to certain other currencies rather than allowing it to "float" with market forces as do most other countries in the developed and developing world (India Times 2010). Despite this artificial hold on the currency, however, the Renminbi has been allowed to appreciate in value at an increasing rate, and this is beginning to have an effect on the significant trade surplus that the country has long maintained (India Times 2010). The fact that China is the world's second largest economy is the reason behind the importance of the Renminbi's valuation, and thus part of the major reason why this currency was selected for study.
The nature of China's economy and its control over its currency was also a significant reason for making this currency and its appreciation the focus of my study. China's transition form a planned economy to a market...
This transition is unique in the economic history of mankind, and the slow appreciation of the Renminbi is a major part of the Chinese government's control over the country's economy (Lin 2004). This makes for research that is both highly interesting and entirely novel.
Finally, the economic events of the past several years and the effects that they have had on China's trade surplus and on the value of the Renminbi make the study of this currency's appreciation especially timely. The global recession demonstrated the problems that are associated with the lack of appreciation of China's currency, for the major economic powers in the world as well as for China itself, and the 2009-2010 period demonstrated an increase in the pace of the Renminbi's appreciation that enables a greater certainty in comparisons to China's trade surplus (Ming 2010). That is, appreciation has occurred quite slowly over the past several decades, and the lack of radical shifts can make it difficult to ascertain a definite link between currency appreciation and trade levels, meaning that the events and changes of the past few years have enabled a…

China announced on Oct. 28, 2004 the first interest rate rise in nine years. In this manner, Beijing is showing its willingness to adopt additional market-oriented reforms in order to have a tighter macro-economic control on the already overheated economy. Although the news regarding the evolution of the Chinese interest rate were contradictory, it would appear that North American economists are welcoming this interest rate increase. The Chinese economy is rapidly

In addition to being small and domestic companies, the carmakers were solely owned by the Chinese government and had a market share of approximately 40%.
