IMF上调人民币SDR权重

In the latest valuation review of the Special Drawing Right－an international reserve asset also known as SDR, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) raised the weight of the renminbi in the basket of currencies that make up the SDR by 1.36 percentage points, to 12.28 percent, the People's Bank of China, the nation's central bank, said on Sunday. The SDR valuation review, completed on Wednesday, marked the first review since the renminbi was included in the SDR basket in 2016, with a share of 10.92 percent, the central bank said.

中国人民银行5月15日发布消息称，国际货币基金组织执董会于5月11日完成对特别提款权(SDR)的定值审查，决定将人民币在SDR货币篮子中的权重提高1.36个百分点，从10.92%上调至12.28%。这是自2016年人民币"入篮"后的首次审查。

Effective Aug 1, the weight increase will allow the renminbi to continue to account for the third-largest share in the basket, behind only the US dollar and the euro, but ranking higher than the Japanese yen and the British pound.
新的SDR货币篮子将于今年8月1日正式生效。调整后，人民币权重仍处在美元、欧元之后的第三位，排在日元和英镑之前。
