【Abstract】 This paper analyses the transformation of the economic characteristics and the dilemma of exchange rate arrangements in East Asia, then discusses why it is necessary to use RMB as the East Asian currency anchor. This paper analyses on the exchange rates’ trends among East Asian countries before, during and after the crisis respectively. Through the comparison among US dollar, Japanese yen, and RMB, the author tries to make further deduction on which would be the potential anchor currency. Empirical results indicate that East Asian currencies are highly correlated with US dollar before the crisis,but highly correlated with RMB after the crisis. The paper concludes with some policy implications for an exchange rate arrangement in East Asia.更多还原
