CNY: China pursues a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies, adopted in the July 2005 reform that ended the fixed peg to the US dollar. The China Foreign Exchange Trade System, authorized by the People's Bank of China, publishes a central parity rate of the renminbi against the US dollar each business day, around which onshore trading is managed. ZAR: South Africa maintains a freely floating exchange rate: the South African Reserve Bank "adheres to a floating exchange rate policy, where the nominal exchange rate is determined by market forces", intervening to smooth abrupt and severe exchange-rate adjustments, to support orderly functioning of the foreign exchange market, and for financial-stability reasons. Monetary policy is anchored by an inflation target of 3% with a one-percentage-point tolerance band (revised 2025), not by any exchange-rate objective.
