SHANGHAI, Dec. 28 (Xinhua) -- The value of the
Renminbi (RMB) against the U.S. dollar hit a record high on Thursday with a
central parity rate of 7.8149 yuan to one dollar, according to the China Foreign
Exchange Trading Center based in Shanghai.
It is the sixth record set since the beginning of
December.
The value of the RMB has risen 3.78 percent since
China decided to revalue its currency in July 2005.
The central parity of the RMB against the other four
major currencies announced on Thursday by the Trading Center were as follows:
10.2504 yuan to one euro, 6.5765 yuan to 100 Japanese yen, 1.00507 yuan to one
HK dollar and 15.2963 yuan to one pound.
According to market observers, the fact that a new
record was set near the end of the year implies the RMB is still under great
pressure to appreciate.
