SHANGHAI, CHINA--(Marketwire - August 18, 2010) - ARC China released the latest edition of its newsletter ARC China Weekly on August 17th. The publication includes a commentary from ARC China Founder Adam Roseman as well as articles covering topics of general interest with a focus on consumer and retail, alternative energy, recent investment transactions in China's current news, and transactions in the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.
Roseman's foreword focuses on the announcement by China's State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) that the country is considering introducing new foreign exchange instruments to meet domestic demand and complement currency reforms launched in June.
Although SAFE did not say what reforms it has in mind, it laid out its work program for the second half of 2010 including keeping a tight grip on "hot money" inflows, enhancing guidance given to market makers, and improving the currency composition and asset mix of China's $2.45 trillion in foreign exchange reserves.
A flexible exchange rate in China will help stimulate trade and structural adjustments and also ease appreciation expectations. The appreciation of the yuan will be of great benefit to international private equity investors in China as it (i) will increase the reported currency earnings power and valuation of existing internationally listed Chinese portfolio companies and (ii) will increase the purchasing power of Chinese consumers and further boost domestic consumption.
