Dean Guthrie gave introductory remarks on Monday, April 23, for The Growth Dialogue and their China Colloquium. Growth in China during this decade and beyond will hinge in large part on reform measures that assure steady gain in productivity and a rebalancing of demand away from exports and investment and towards domestic consumption. What such reforms are likely to entail and their implications for China’s performance was the focus of the lead speaker’s presentation at this Third China Colloquium. The discussion featured Professor Dwight H. Perkins, the Harold Hitchings Burbank Research Professor of Political Economy at Harvard University.

Over the past weekend, the Chinese government announced that it was loosening up control over its currency. It now allows the Yuan to float within 1 percent, up or down, from the benchmark exchange rate against the U.S. dollar. This is another measured step down the path which eventually leads to a freely floating exchange rate. Dean Guthrie, interviewed on PBS’ Nightly Business Report, emphasizes the incremental and planned nature of change that characterizes most of Chinese economic policy.
