While Zhang could not predict whether the government would accept his advice or allow the currency to appreciate from its current value of approximately RMB6.83 to the dollar, he stated that a 10% revaluation would not seriously impact export growth and that China should take an "active strategy" to reduce the threat from short-term capital inflows.
