About the Chinese Yuan
- The official name of the currency is the renminbi ("people’s currency"), while the yuan is the unit you actually count in.
- China operates a managed exchange rate, setting a daily reference point around which the onshore yuan can trade within a band.
- As the currency of the world’s largest exporter, the yuan is central to global manufacturing and sourcing costs.
What moves the Chinese Yuan
The Chinese Yuan (CNY) is most influenced by People's Bank of China daily fixings, China's trade balance, and US-China policy and tariffs. Because CurrencyPro shows an informational reference rate, the figures here can differ from the rate your bank or payment provider applies when a transaction actually settles.
