Beijing: The central bank has set the yuan central parity rate at a record 7.6195 to the dollar, according to the China Foreign Exchange Trading System.
The People's Bank of China (PBoC) started setting a daily central parity rate on Jan 4, 2006.
On July 21, 2005, China freed the yuan from its long-standing peg to the dollar in favor of a trade-weighted basket of currencies, and allowed the local unit to appreciate by 2.1 pct. The PBoC allows a trading band of 0.5 pct on either side of the central parity rate.
