A Brookings analysis by Robin Brooks estimates that China's renminbi is substantially undervalued, using the IMF-style macro-balance approach. The piece argues that China's large current account surplus has persisted and that standard valuation models tend to treat such misalignment as normal.
A persistently undervalued yuan supports Chinese exports and can prompt policy pressure for currency appreciation, which could change the cost of imported feed inputs over time, though this is a long-run analytical view rather than a near-term market driver.
