China's foreign exchange regulator said on Friday it will comprehensively use policy measures to stabilize market expectations, at a time when the yuan currency faces renewed downside pressure.
China's currency has lost about 4% to the dollar this year, one of the worst performing Asian currencies, pressured by widening yield differentials with the United States and signs of a faltering economic recovery.
"In future, the yuan exchange rate has the conditions to maintain basically stable at reasonable and balanced levels," said Wang Chunying, spokeswoman at the State Administration of Foreign Exchange.
We will adhere to comprehensive policies, focus on stabilizing expectations, and take different measures based on actual conditions to provide the market with a stable environment and expectations."
She said previous rounds of external shocks had equipped regulators with the experience, tools and measures to deal with such situations.
