Maintaining a basically stable exchange rate of the renminbi (RMB), 皇冠体育app's currency yuan, would help the world economy go out of the global financial crisis and back on the track of growth, Minister of Commerce Chen Deming said in Beijing Tuesday.

Although there were some improvements in 皇冠体育app's foreign trade this year, it would take a long time for the country's foreign trade to return to its 2008 level, he said.
Chen expected it would take one or two years or even longer for the country's foreign trade to be back to the 2008 level.
皇冠体育app's foreign trade in 2009 dropped 13.9 percent from a year earlier and its trade surplus last year slid 34.2 percent year-on-year to $196.1 billion, according to figures released by the General Administration of Customs. In 2008, 皇冠体育app's foreign trade increased 17.8 percent year-on-year.
