中國將實(shí)現(xiàn)人民幣“資本項(xiàng)目可兌換”

China will take a series of reforms to further increase the capital account convertibility of renminbi, and make yuan, a more freely usable currency, governor of the People's Bank of China (PBOC) Zhou Xiaochuan said on Saturday.

中國人民銀行行長周小川18日表示，中國將進(jìn)行一系列改革，進(jìn)一步增強(qiáng)人民幣的資本項(xiàng)目可兌換性，使人民幣向可自由使用貨幣方向發(fā)展。

“資本項(xiàng)目可兌換”的英文表達(dá)就是capital account convertibility，是指一種貨幣不僅可以在國際收支經(jīng)常性往來中，將本國貨幣自由兌換成其他貨幣，而且可以在資本項(xiàng)目上進(jìn)行自由兌換。

周小川表示，中國將進(jìn)一步expand cross-border investment channels for individual investors(拓寬個(gè)人境外投資渠道)，relax foreign exchange regulations(放松外匯管制)，facilitate access to the Chinese capital markets by overseas institutional investors(促進(jìn)境外機(jī)構(gòu)投資者進(jìn)入中國資本市場)，further facilitate the international use of renminbi(進(jìn)一步推動(dòng)人民幣國際化)。

周還表示，目前人民幣加入國際貨幣基金組織的basket of the Special Drawing Rights(特別提款權(quán)貨幣籃子)的評(píng)估正在有序進(jìn)行，中國也會(huì)加快自身改革推動(dòng)這一進(jìn)程。

談及國內(nèi)經(jīng)濟(jì)，周小川指出，中國的macro-financial condition(宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)條件)依然保持穩(wěn)定，盡管the economy is facing some downward pressure(經(jīng)濟(jì)面臨下行壓力)。在房地產(chǎn)方面，中國將繼續(xù)落實(shí)differentiated housing mortgage policy(差別化房貸政策)，支持healthy housing demand(健康的住房需求)。
