The Investor’s Guide to China: The renminbi effect (#31)
Description
In this episode, we turn our attention to something that affects almost every investor in China: a weakening renminbi. The Chinese currency has lost almost 10 per cent against the US dollar in the last 18 months.
Is this a result of economic weakness in China or just another chapter in the strong dollar story? How is the renminbi performing against other currencies like the Japanese yen? Is currency weakness a cyclical challenge for the country or a structural trend? And what should investors do about it?
To help answer these questions, Marty Dropkin, Head of Equities, Asia Pacific, is joined by Asia Economist, Peiqian Liu, and Fixed Income Portfolio Manager, Belinda Liao.
With additional contributions from Portfolio Manager Casey McLean.
