China yuan move likely this year, but not due to G7

SINGAPORE: China will probably adopt a new currency policy this year which would allow the yuan to strengthen at least a little, but not in response to pressure from the Group of Seven (G7), according to a majority of analysts polled by Reuters. 

Fourteen of the 25 analysts polled said they expected a change in the yuan before the end of the year, most likely in the second half. Three saw a move next year, and eight said they could not see a change in the foreseeable future.
