Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland sounded like she didn’t think China is a currency manipulator in her comments today. She said in a news conference, “at a time of volatility in the global economy and volatility in the trading space, there can be a lot of explanations for why currencies fall and rise.”
She also referred to IMF, as the body stood by its assessment on Yuan last week, that it’s largely in line with economic fundamentals. Freeland urged “people who are interested in an objective perspective” on the matter to note that assessment.
