PBOC: China to raise FX risk reserve ratio to 20% to rein in yuan weakness – Reuters
China's central bank, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), said on Monday it will reinstate foreign exchange risk reserves for some forwards contracts, a move that would make betting against the yuan currency more expensive in order to slow the pace of recent depreciation, reported Reuters.
