Abstract
China's monetary policy has evolved from obscurity into spotlight due to its torrid economic expansion in recent times, as well as its exchange rate regime that has been under constant scrutiny of its trading partners. While China’s economy is centrally-planned, it is veering more towards a market-based system with goals of stability and growth. With this in mind, this paper is an introspection of China’s monetary policy since the establishment of the People’s Bank of China (PBC) to the present. Additionally, this paper surveys empirical literature on the effectiveness of policy tools undertaken by the PBC. Recommendations are made to Chinese monetary authority on how to navigate the turbulent waves of economic fluctuations with a managed exchange rate, within its borders and beyond.
