Frequently Asked Questions About China Currency
What is the currency of China?
China's official currency is the renminbi (RMB), with the yuan as its basic unit; the currency is abbreviated CNY and symbolized by ¥.
Who issues Chinese banknotes?
The People's Bank of China, the country's central bank, is the sole issuer of renminbi banknotes and coins.
What is the difference between renminbi and yuan?
"Renminbi" is the formal name of China's currency (meaning "people's currency"), while "yuan" refers to the basic unit of account, similar to how "sterling" is the currency and "pound" is the unit in the UK.
Why is the Chinese yuan's exchange rate often discussed in global trade policy?
The yuan's value is managed within bands set by the People's Bank of China rather than freely floating, which has made its exchange rate a recurring topic in international trade negotiations.
