| 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. |
据英国路透社电，中国人民银行副行长易纲周日在国际货币基金组织（IMF）会议上表示，人民币距离能够自由兑换已经为期不远，并提及IMF关于通用货币计划有两项重要测试，其中一项将测试人民币。 |
| Expanding the IMF's so-called Special Drawing Rights was discussed at the meeting. |
会上还讨论了有关扩大IMF“特别提款权”（注：又名纸黄金）的问题。 |
| 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. |
特别提款权目前通用美元、欧元、日元和英镑，是一种人工“准货币”，通常用作IMF成员国国际贸易活动中的一种记账单位。 |
|
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.

易纲强调，增加特别提款权的资质货币能够促进全球经济发展、缩小贸易不平衡并在金融动荡时期提供金融安全网，同时也能使该国际货币体系更加具有代表性。 |
