| China's yuan is close to being a freely usable currency, one of two key tests for it to be included in the International Monetary Fund's currency basket, said Yi Gang, the deputy governor of the People's Bank of China, the country's central bank, at an IMF meeting on Sunday, Reuters reports. |
據英國路透社電，中國人民銀行副行長易綱周日在國際貨幣基金組織（IMF）會議上表示，人民幣距離能夠自由兌換已經為期不遠，并提及IMF關于通用貨幣計劃有兩項重要測試，其中一項將測試人民幣。? |
| Expanding the IMF's so-called Special Drawing Rights was discussed at the meeting. |
會上還討論了有關擴大IMF“特別提款權”（注：又名紙黃金）的問題。 |
| The IMF's Special Drawing Rights (SDR), now comprising the US dollar, euro, yen and sterling, is a synthetic quasi-currency that is mainly used as an accounting tool for the IMF's internal operations.? |
特別提款權目前通用美元、歐元、日元和英鎊，是一種人工“準貨幣”，通常用作IMF成員國國際貿易活動中的一種記賬單位。 |
|
Expanding the SDR basket would help support global growth, reduce imbalances and provide a financial safety net during times of financial troubles, Yi said, adding it would also make the international monetary system more representative.

易綱強調，增加特別提款權的資質貨幣能夠促進全球經濟發展、縮小貿易不平衡并在金融動蕩時期提供金融安全網，同時也能使該國際貨幣體系更加具有代表性。 |
