VOICED : China devalua el yuan

China has devalued the yuan by nearly 2% against the dollar to stimulate its slowing economy, particularly its exports. The yuan's stability, controlled by Pekín, has been challenged by its recent appreciation against the euro and yen, affecting exporters. Speculation suggests China may widen the yuan's trading band to enhance flexibility. This move aims to include the yuan in the IMF's currency basket but raises concerns among Asian economies about competitiveness. However, a prolonged devaluation could lead to capital outflows if investors fear asset depreciation.
