The central bank released its stance on the RMB exchange rate policy: China is actively promoting a transformation of its economic growth model.
智通财经2026/10/09 01:06On October 8, the People’s Bank of China released its policy stance on the RMB exchange rate. The stance clarifies that China implements a managed floating exchange rate system based on market supply and demand, adjusted with reference to a basket of currencies, and insists on allowing the market to play a decisive role in the formation of the exchange rate. The central bank made it clear that it does not preset a target exchange rate level, will not intervene in long-term exchange rate trends, and will maintain exchange rate flexibility with two-way fluctuations. Since 2017, the People’s Bank of China has exited regular foreign exchange intervention. The central bank will focus on preventing significant short-term exchange rate volatility, especially sharp and rapid depreciation, from impacting financial stability. In specific scenarios such as sudden pandemics or major external shocks like the tariff war in April 2025, macroprudential tools will be used for adjustments and expectations management, and in extreme cases, direct foreign exchange intervention may be conducted to prevent destructive short-term overshooting of the exchange rate. These measures comply with international rules and practices. The central bank stated that since the 2005 exchange rate reform, the RMB exchange rate has fluctuated in both directions and has generally remained strong among major international currencies. The People’s Bank of China also explicitly expressed that China neither needs nor intends to gain a trade competitive advantage through exchange rate depreciation. Furthermore, the central bank reaffirmed its commitment to the strategic direction and key initiatives set out in the “15th Five-Year Plan,” to promote a transformation in the mode of economic growth, expand domestic demand and high-level openness, and contribute to a new round of global economic rebalancing. China will also strengthen international economic and financial cooperation, actively participate in and advance global financial governance reforms, and help safeguard global economic and financial stability.

India's IT Service Industry Growth Slows; Analysts Say AI Transformation Projects Offer New Support
After Tata Consultancy Services released its earnings, HCL Technologies and Tech Mahindra are set to follow with their own financial reports. Analysts noted that clients remain cautious towards non-essential technology projects, with industry growth expected to stay sluggish. However, recent results from Accenture indicate that spending is not simply shrinking but is shifting towards large-scale transformation projects led by AI. On Thursday, Tata Consultancy Services reported profit growth surpassing market expectations, but its revenue increased by only 0.5% quarter-on-quarter at constant currency. According to Nuvama, “Over the past nine months, the IT sector has significantly underperformed the broader market, mainly due to negative sentiment created by generative AI platform companies, along with uncertainty related to the Gulf War. We continue to believe that the IT services model will persist in the long term, and the disruption brought by generative AI will only create greater opportunities for these companies.”
