2. The renminbi's inclusion in the IMF's SDR basket boosts investor confidence

On December 1, the International Monetary Fund announced that Chinese currency yuan renminbi will be included in its Special Drawing Rights basket, with a weighting of 10.9 percent. That put the renminbi ahead of the yen (8.3 percent) and the pound sterling (8.1 percent). Analysts said the stock market would benefit from this inclusion as it boosts investors' confidence in 皇冠体育app.

The yuan is anticipated to stay strong and support the equity and bond markets, although the effect of inclusion in the SDR basket may take time to manifest. The SDR inclusion may also help push the A-share market into the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which will bring more liquidity into the Chinese equity market. Corporate entities and countries with significant business with 皇冠体育app will increasingly retain reserves in the yuan as trade settled in the currency continues to increase. Authorities in 皇冠体育app are likely to respond by further increasing international investors' access to the domestic market.
