Slowdown in the People’s Republic of China: Structural Factors and the Implications for Asia
Lin, Justin Yifu; Morgan, Peter J.; Wan, Guanghua | April 2018
Abstract
The People’s Republic of China (PRC) has been growing at an unprecedented rate since economic reforms were initiated in 1978, achieving an average annual real GDP growth rate of 9.7% over the entire period through 2015. As a consequence, the PRC has achieved a remarkably successful transition from one of the poorest countries to upper middle-income status in just over one generation. However, there are concerns that the PRC’s strong growth streak recently has run out of steam, showing a marked deceleration since 2010. The key question is whether the PRC’s economy will continue to slow and be trapped in slow growth, or whether its growth can re-accelerate. The chapters in this volume focus on the root causes of the current slowdown and, in light of these, assess the growth potential of the PRC’s economy, the conditions under which that potential growth could be realized, and the implications for other Asian economies.

The Rise of the “Redback” and the People’s Republic of China’s Capital Account Liberalization: An Empirical Analysis of the Determinants of Invoicing Currencies
Ito, Hiro; Chinn, Menzie (Asian Development Bank Institute, 2014-04-07)We investigate the determinants of currency choice for trade invoicing in a cross-country context while focusing on the link between capital account liberalization and its impact on the use of the renminbi (RMB). We find that while countries with more developed financial markets tend to invoice less in the US dollar, countries with more open capital accounts tend to invoice in either the euro or ...We investigate the determinants of currency choice for trade invoicing in a cross-country context while focusing on the link between capital account liberalization and its impact on the use of the renminbi (RMB).
