Úloha renminbi v mezinárodním měnovém systému

The bachelor thesis focuses on Chinese currency, renminbi, which has been much talked about since the outburst of the financial crisis in 2008, especially in regard with its potential reserve currency status. The main goal of this thesis is to analyze the renminbis internationalization process and its role in the international monetary system. The first part is mainly dedicated to theoretical concepts of foreign exchange reserves, currency internationalization and international reserve currency. In the second half, I firstly analyze the development of global foreign exchange reserves and its currency composition, take a closer look at the process of renminbi internationalization and changes undertaken within the country. Last chapter gives us an insight into different aspects of renminbis current path to reserve currency status. Despite the countrys active approach to internationalization, the current position of renminbi does not reflect the significance of Chinese economy in the world. It is further needed to liberalize capital controls and develop domestic financial system. But there is an effect of exogenous factors, beyond governments control, that could greatly undermine the whole process.
