Understanding CNY to USD Exchange Rates
The Chinese Yuan (CNY), also known as the Renminbi (RMB), is the official currency of China. CNY and RMB are interchangeable terms referring to the same currency - CNY is the ISO code while RMB is the currency name. CNY/USD exchange rates are heavily influenced by People's Bank of China (PBOC) monetary policy, US-China trade relations, foreign exchange reserves management, China's economic growth, and capital flow controls. The yuan's value relative to the dollar is carefully managed by the PBOC within a controlled band, reflecting both market forces and policy objectives aimed at maintaining export competitiveness and financial stability.
