美国首次以“人民币汇率低估”对中国展开反补贴调查 针对美国商务部近日宣布，决定对原产于中国的扎带（束线带）产品发起反倾销反补贴调查，并就“人民币汇率低估“项目发起调查。 中国商务部指出，这是美国首次在反补贴案件中立案调查所谓”人民币汇率低估“项目，中方对此坚决反对。 中国商务部23日晚间特别就此发布新闻稿表示，中国实行以市场供求为基础、参考一篮子货币进行调节、有管理的浮动汇率制度，市场在汇率形成中起决定性作用。 新闻稿强调，总体上，人民币汇率处于合理均衡水平，并没有被低估。 自2005年以来，人民币对美元已累计升值超过17% 。 根据国际清算银行公布的数据，2005年初至2020年5月，人民币名目有效汇率升值38%，实际有效汇率升值49%，是G20经济体中最强势的货币，在全球范围内也是升值幅度最大的货币之一。 商务部指出，汇率问题超出了成员按照世界贸易组织规则进行反补贴调查的权限。 美国今年2月修改法规以对别国汇率进行反补贴调查，已涉嫌违反世贸组织WTO规则，受到多方面反对。 新闻稿称，即使按照美国法规，申请人的申诉内容也存在大量错误，不具备财政资助、利益授予和专向性等反补贴必备要素。 中方敦促美方遵守现有国际规则，停止对所谓“人民币汇率低估”进行反补贴调查。 受中美关系紧张情势进一步升高影响，离岸、在岸人民币对美元汇率22日盘中一度大贬，双双跌破1美元兑人民币7.0元关口。 美国商务部此举是否意在逼升人民币值得关注。 人民币对美元即期汇价23日升破7.0大关，收在6.9961。 受官方调控的人民币对美元汇率中间价，24日下调17个基本点，报6.9938。
The U.S. launches countervailing investigation against China for the first time on the ground of "undervaluation of RMB exchange rate” In response to the U.S. Department of Commerce's recent announcement that it has decided to launch an anti-dumping and countervailing investigation into the ties (cable ties) originated from China and an investigation into the "undervaluation of the RMB exchange rate". China's Ministry of Commerce pointed out that this is the first time that the United States has opened a countervailing case to investigate the so-called project "undervaluation of RMB exchange rate" project, which China firmly opposes. China's Ministry of Commerce issued a press release on the evening of the 23rd day especially in this regard, said that China implements a managed floating exchange rate system based on market supply and demand, adjusted by referring to a basket of currencies, with the market playing a decisive role in the formation of the exchange rate. The press release stressed that, on the whole, the RMB exchange rate is at a reasonable and balanced level and is not undervalued. Since 2005, the RMB has appreciated by more than 17% against the US dollar. According to data published by the Bank for International Settlements, from the beginning of 2005 to May 2020, the nominal effective exchange rate of the RMB appreciated by 38% and the real effective exchange rate by 49%, making it the strongest currency among the G20 economies and one of the most appreciated globally. The Ministry of Commerce pointed out that the exchange rate issue is beyond the authority of members to conduct countervailing investigations in accordance with World Trade Organization rules. In February of this year, the United States amended the rules to conduct countervailing investigations on other countries' exchange rates, which has been suspected of violating WTO rules and is opposed by many parties. The press release stated that even under the U.S. rules, the applicant's complaint contains numerous errors and does not have the necessary countervailing elements, such as financial support, benefit awarding and exclusivity. China urges the U.S. to abide by the existing international rules and stop conducting countervailing investigations on the so-called "undervaluation of RMB exchange rate". Influenced by the further tensions between the U.S. and China, the offshore and onshore RMB exchange rate against the U.S. dollar depreciated sharply during the 22nd session, both falling below the mark of each 7.0 RMB Yuan for 1 U.S. Dollar. It is worth watching that whether the U.S. Department of Commerce’s move is intended to force up the RMB. The spot exchange rate of RMB against U.S. Dollar rose above 7.0 on the 23rd day, closing at 6.9961. The median exchange rate of the RMB against the U.S. dollar, which is subject to official regulation, was lowered by 17 basic points to 6.9938 on the 24th day.
