Renminbi revaluation is a hot topic among policymakers and economists as well as market participants inside and outside the People's Republic of China (PRC).

This Policy Brief takes a fresh look at the story behind the soaring Japanese yen from the early 1970s to the late 1980s. It examines what can be learnt drawn from those experiences. Major lessons include the

  • assessment of impact on the macro economy, in particular on inflationary pressure,
  • traditional question of policy trilemma in the PRC context,
  • relationship between external disequilibrium and exchange rate adjustment,
  • different impacts on different groups, and
  • medium- to long-term impact on economic structure.
