Macro Presets:
Intervention Parameters
Analytical Paradigm:
Annual Reserve Purchases ($B) $120B
Central Bank official foreign exchange purchases per annum.
Capital Controls Index (0-1) 0.75
Friction on private capital outflows (1.0 = total restriction).
Domestic Savings Rate (% GDP) 44.0%
Structural domestic gross national savings rate.
Domestic Investment Rate (% GDP) 38.0%
Gross domestic capital formation rate.
Nominal FX Target (USD/CNY) 7.15
Official policy target benchmark exchange rate.
Trade Surplus (NX) $310.0B 3.10% of GDP
REER Misalignment -11.4% Undervalued vs Equilibrium
Partner Competitiveness 112.9 Export Price Advantage Index
Reserve Accumulation $120.0B/yr Sterilized FX Expansion
Balance of Payments (BoP) Dynamic Capital & Trade Flows Active Instrument Model
Simulated Trade Balance Trajectory (3-Year Forecast) Math.js Differential Trajectory
Macroeconomic Identity Decomposition
S - I = $600.0B - $520.0B = $80.0B (Structural Gap)
Active Intervention Offset: FX_Accum ($120B) + Outflow_Friction ($110B) = $230.0B
Net Balance of Payments Surplus (NX) = $310.0B
The Yuan is currently modeled as an active instrument: policy interventions generate an artificial trade surplus beyond structural domestic savings gaps.
