For both China and America, the RMB dollar exchange rate is important for achieving growth and a more balanced current account. But that dual objective requires structural change in the Chinese and US economies.

This may be the right response if the inflows and upward pressure on the exchange rate are driven by fundamental factors (a current account surplus, an undervalued currency, a large and persistent growth differential).

This outlook for the current account balance does not depend on what happens to the renminbi s exchange rate against other currencies. The saving investment imbalance is fundamental, and it alone determines a country s external position.
