Since March of 2001, American economy has moved into recession. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) has already cut interest rate ten times this year to curb the economic downward trends. Other nations also cut their interest rates respectively to stimulate their economic growth. In the meantime, there exist great appreciate pressures on the RMB exchange rate, and since 2001, China's exports have dropped sharply. Taking all these into consideration, China should also adjust its interest rate accordingly to balance the internal and external economy and to ensure the healthy development of Chinese economy.
