Recommendation
The yuan’s inclusion in the International Monetary Fund’s Special Drawing Rights solidifies China’s place as the world’s third-largest economic superpower, behind the United States and the European Union. At first blush, the IMF’s decision appears little more than a symbolic triumph for China.
