Abstract

This paper investigates China’s daily foreign exchange intervention through the setting and adjustment of the central parity rate, using daily data from July 22, 2005 to July 22, 2013. Applying a Bayes Tobit model, we find evidence that China’s daily price intervention decision is driven by market developments regarding the Chinese currency, international currency movements and macroeconomic conditions. The results further suggest that the objectives of China’s daily price intervention change not only over time, but also between high and low interventions.
