Central Bank: China Widens Yuan Daily Trading Band to 2%

W460

China will widen the yuan's daily trading band to two percent from the current one percent, the central bank announced Saturday, underscoring efforts to loosen Beijing's grip on its tightly-controlled currency.

The move will take effect on March 17, the People's Bank of China said in a statement on its web site.

The move follows a statement by the central bank last month that it was seeking an "orderly expansion" of the trading band as a policy goal.
