Renminbi devaluation underway

China shocked the world last week by allowing the renminbi to devalue by a small amount for three consecutive days. Unsurprisingly, commentators began asking whether this was a sign of crisis or simply the People’s Bank of China’s (PBOC) desire to facilitate its evolution as an international reserve currency. While we believe it’s a combination of the two, the true picture will emerge over the coming months. With China experiencing a deflationary bust as years of debt-fuelled growth come to an end, the internationalisation of the renminbi is one of the components of the medium-to-long-term transformation of the Chinese growth model. In the short term, however, a devaluation of the currency may assist domestic GDP growth by boosting export competitiveness, as well as ease the pressure from capital flight (all other things being equal).
