Yi Gang, governor of the People’s’s Bank of China, stated that China may gradually reduce the frequency and volume of its forays into the marketplace in order to process out currency intervention, underscoring Beijings’ determination to increase the yuan ‘ presence abroad.

Yi added that the central bank will work to achieve true interest rates that are a little below potential growth rates.
