Virtual currency balance of payments
The balance of payments surplus shows that the export is greater than the import, foreigners buy a large number of goods in the country, need to pay more money in the country, the demand for the country's currency in the international market is large, causing the currency appreciation of the country
Relevant introction:the balance of payments surplus indicates that there is a net inflow of current account and capital account. Take trade in goods for example, the current account surplus shows that the country's exports are greater than imports. Foreign imports of domestic goods need to be paid in domestic currency rather than foreign currency, which will lead to an increase in the demand for domestic currency
extended data
the balance of payments surplus generated by trade items reflects the enhancement of a country's international reserves or external payment capacity; The balance of payments surplus generated by the capital account reflects the large inflow of capital
The huge balance of payments surplus also has adverse economic effects, mainly in the following aspects: excessive foreign exchange reserves will lead to idle funds and waste, which is not concive to the development of domestic economy; When the exchange rate of reserve currency falls, foreign exchange reserves will suffer losses; With the increase of a country's foreign exchange reserves, the issue of local currency will inevitably increase, resulting in potential inflationary pressurein the case of high capital mobility, the balance of payments surplus strengthens the effect of positive fiscal policy to stimulate aggregate demand and promotes the rapid development of the national economy. Fourth, the balance of payments surplus is concive to the implementation of loose monetary policy
in theory, the appreciation of a country's currency will have the effect of "limiting exports and rewarding imports" on its imports and exports. Therefore, for China, after RMB appreciation, imports will tend to increase, while exports will decrease, which is concive to China's balance of international payments and alleviates the pressure of rapidly growing foreign exchange reserves. For the US and European markets, as China's procts are exported to the US and European markets, the appreciation of RMB will rece China's exports to the above-mentioned countries and regions, which is concive to the improvement of the latter, especially the US current account deficit, thus recing the trade friction between China and the United States and between China and Europe. For Asian countries, as China's imports mainly come from Asian countries, especially Japan and ASEAN, the appreciation of RMB will increase China's imports from rising countries and regions. At the same time, the procts exported by Asian countries and China to the U.S. and European markets have strong substitutability. The appreciation of RMB leads to the price rise of China's exports, which in turn makes the exports of Asian countries with strong substitutability to the U.S. and Europe expand, thus driving the growth of various Asian economies
2. The impact on international capital flow
in October last year, the flow of international capital changed significantly from crude oil futures market to Asia, gambling heavily on RMB appreciation. RMB appreciation of 2% obviously does not meet the expected range of the market, especially the hot money. Although the possibility of RMB revaluation in the short term is not great, the subsequent appreciation of RMB is almost an inevitable trend, which may lead to changes in the direction of international hot money flow. Specifically, some funds may withdraw from China in the near future, but more funds may flow into China later. It is urgent to continue to implement capital control, especially to strengthen the supervision of capital inflow
3. Direct impact on the value of each country's currency
on the day of RMB appreciation, various Asian currencies generally rose, among which the yen rose 2.4% against the US dollar, the Singapore dollar rose 2.1%, and the US dollar also hit a new low of 7.7652 against the Hong Kong dollar. More importantly, the Central Bank of Malaysia announced that it would abandon the fixed exchange rate system pegged to the US dollar and adopt a managed floating exchange rate system pegged to a basket of currencies. This shows that the linkage among Asian currencies is becoming stronger and stronger
influenced by the appreciation of RMB, European currencies also rose on that day, but the range was relatively small. Among them, the euro appreciated by 0.17%, the pound by 0.75% and the Swiss Franc by 0.03%
however, e to the small appreciation of RMB, after digesting this impact, the currencies subsequently experienced a correction
(2) impact on domestic economy
1. Impact on different instries in China
as mentioned above, the appreciation of RMB will make the price of China's export procts rise, rece its price competitive advantage, and then rece exports. Among export enterprises, resource-based instries will suffer more. At the same time, it will be good for domestic import enterprises. The appreciation of RMB will lower the price of imported procts, which is concive to the expansion of imports. In particular, the fall in the import price of energy (mainly oil) and resources (iron ore, copper, nickel, etc.) will temporarily ease the energy and resources bottleneck restricting China's economic development
2. The impact on domestic monetary policy
(1) the impact on RMB interest rate. After the appreciation of RMB, the prices of imported procts will fall, which will drive the domestic prices down slightly. On the other hand, the decrease of export caused by RMB appreciation will increase the supply of domestic procts, and the increase of supply will also lead to the decline of domestic prices. The combined effect of the above factors is that domestic prices are falling and the pressure of RMB interest rate rise is alleviated, but the possibility of deflation must also be prevented
(2) the impact on money supply
as the appreciation rate of RMB is only 2%, it will only cause the growth rate of China's foreign exchange reserves to decline in the short term, but it is difficult to make an immediate absolute decline, and the resulting foreign exchange account is also difficult to rece significantly. However, the expectation of further appreciation of RMB will lead to a substantial increase in domestic foreign exchange settlement in the short term, which will make the domestic financial market more abundant, which will increase the pressure on the people's Bank of China to withdraw currency
4. Impact on domestic stock market. From the international experience, the sharp appreciation of the currency with strong appreciation expectations will lead to a large-scale withdrawal of hot money, and then lead to the decline of the domestic stock market. However, e to the small range of RMB appreciation, there are still expectations of further appreciation. Moreover, China's stock market has been in the doldrums recently, and the hot money flowing into China has hardly entered the stock market, but mostly invested in the real estate market. Therefore, after RMB appreciation, even if some hot money withdraws, the negative effect on China's stock market is limited. However, after the appreciation of RMB, China's steel, oil, petrochemical and tourism stocks will rise sharply, which will be good for the domestic stock market. It must be pointed out that the current predicament of China's stock market and the serious lack of investor confidence will greatly offset its positive effect
5. The impact on the domestic banking instry
as mentioned above, the direct impact of RMB appreciation of 2% will be a sharp increase in the amount of foreign exchange settlement, which will rece the amount of domestic and foreign currency funds. This will have an impact on the foreign currency business of domestic commercial banks, and lead to intensified competition among commercial banks in foreign currency business
for the RMB business, the substantial increase in the amount of foreign exchange settlement will be more concive to the development of liability business of commercial banks. However, e to the more abundant capital of RMB, the yield of domestic bonds will continue to decline, which makes the profit margin of commercial banks continue to narrow
finally, it must be pointed out that e to the small range of RMB appreciation, the impact on domestic and international economy and finance may not be as strong as people expected, and the final effect of RMB appreciation remains to be seen e to the complexity of China's economy.

the relationship with international trade is not clear.
under the condition of interest rate liberalization, the balance of payments surplus means the increase of domestic money supply. When the growth rate of market demand for money is less than the growth rate of money supply, the money market supply is greater than the demand, and the interest rate of financial market decreases. When the international market interest rate is relatively low, a country's financial market interest rate falls, then the interest rate gap between the domestic interest rate and the international market interest rate will narrow, which will slow down the inflow of international capital and help rece the balance of payments surplus. However, the decrease of interest rate will lead to the devaluation of RMB and inflation. Since the second half of 2003, China's economy is facing the pressure of inflation. In order to prevent the negative impact of inflation on the economy, the central bank has to maintain the current deposit control interest rate and loan floating interest rate, thus delaying the process of interest rate marketization

foreign exchange income is generated by an economic transaction (such as export) or capital transaction (such as foreign investment in China). Because foreign exchange can not circulate freely in the domestic market, it is necessary to convert foreign currency into domestic currency in order to put it into domestic circulation. This forms the foreign exchange supply in the foreign exchange market. Foreign exchange expenditure is caused by a certain economic transaction (such as import) or capital transaction (investment abroad). Because it is necessary to convert domestic currency into foreign currency to meet their respective economic needs, there is a need for foreign exchange in the foreign exchange market
when these transactions are integrated and recorded in the balance of payments statistics, a country's foreign exchange balance is formed. If the foreign exchange income is greater than the expenditure, the supply of foreign exchange will increase; If the foreign exchange expenditure is greater than the income, the demand for foreign exchange will increase. With the increase of foreign exchange supply and the constant demand, the price of foreign exchange will drop and the value of local currency will rise accordingly; When the demand for foreign exchange increases and the supply remains unchanged, the price of foreign exchange will rise, and the value of local currency will fall accordingly.
Second, the discount rate, which determines the interest rate of inter-bank loans
Third, reserve requirements, that is, to make specific provisions on the ratio of bank reserves. Through these tools, we can adjust the money supply of the market.
