活动预告|人民币走势与国际地位

时间：11月3日 13:30-15:30

地点：宾大沃顿中国中心

活动简介：

人民币的未来走势一直是一个热门话题。2016年10月1日，国际货币基金组织宣布人民币正式加入国际货币基金组织特别提款权货币篮子（SDRs），使人民币成为全球主要储备货币之一。这是否是对人民币崛起的一种过分渲染？人民币是否有朝一日能代替美元成为全球主导的储备货币？崛起的人民币能否抵挡住中国经济放缓与硬着陆的危机？

11月3日，布鲁金斯学会资深研究员、前国际货币基金组织中国区主管埃斯瓦尔·普拉萨德将讲述对于人民币前景的看法。在他的新书Gaining Currency: The Rise of the Renminbi中，普拉萨德探讨了中国经济发展的影响与人民币的崛起。

本次活动由清华-布鲁金斯公共政策中心、宾大沃顿中国中心与中国人民大学国际货币研究所共同举办。会议语言为英文，设有同声传译。欢迎各界朋友前来参与！

Event | Gaining Currency: The Rise of the Renminbi

Time: November 3, 13:30-15:30

Venue: Penn-Wharton China Center

About the Event:

The anticipation of Renminbi has always been a hot topic. On October 1, 2016, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) officially anointed the RMB as a major global reserve currency by including it in the basket of currencies that make up the Fund’s international reserve assets, known as special drawing rights (SDRs). But is hype of the RMB’s rise overblown? Could it ever supplant the U.S. dollar as the dominant global reserve currency? Can an ascendant RMB withstand the risks of a slowdown or hard landing in China?

Now you hear insights on the ascendance of Renminbi from the former head of the IMF's China Division. In his recently published book “Gaining Currency: The Rise of the Renminbi,” Brookings senior fellow Eswar Prasad reveals the interconnections linking China's growing economic might, its expanding international influence, and the rise of its currency.

This event is co-hosted by the Brookings-Tsinghua Center, the Penn-Wharton China Center and the International Monetary Institute. Working language will be English with simultaneous translation. We warmly welcome friends and experts from related fields to attend.
