AN ACT 
To require the United States Executive Director at the Inter-

parency with respect to exchange rate policies of the

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘China Exchange Rate 
Transparency Act of 2023’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
The Congress finds as follows: 
(1) Under Article IV of the Articles of Agree-
ment of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), 
the People’s Republic of China has committed to or-
derly exchange rate arrangements, the avoidance of 
exchange rate manipulation, and cooperation with 
the IMF to ensure ‘‘firm surveillance’’ of the ex-
change rate policies of the People’s Republic of 
China. Pursuant to Article VIII of the Articles of 
Agreement of the IMF, the IMF may require the 
People’s Republic of China to furnish data on gold 
and foreign exchange holdings, including assets held 
by non-official agencies of the People’s Republic of 
China. 
(2) In its November 2022 report, entitled 
‘‘Macroeconomic and Foreign Exchange Policies of 
Major Trading Partners of the United States’’, the 
Department of the Treasury concluded, ‘‘China pro-
vides very limited transparency regarding key fea-
tures of its exchange rate mechanism, including the 
policy objectives of its exchange rate management 
regime and its activities in the offshore RMB mar-

type. 
‘‘(B) AMOUNT.—The Secretary shall deter-
mine the per episode payment amount based on 
national base rates, as described in subsection 
(d)(1) and as updated in subsection (d)(2). 
‘‘(C) ADJUSTMENTS.—The per episode 
payment amount shall be subject to— 
‘‘(i) the adjustments as described in 
subsection (d)(2) and (d)(3); 
‘‘(ii) a geographic adjustment, as de-
scribed in subsection (d)(3)(A); 
‘‘(iii) an inflation adjustment, pursu-
ant to which the Secretary shall adjust the 
per episode payment amount by the per-
centage increase in the Medicare Economic 
Index (as described in section 1842 for the 
professional component payments and the 
applicable percentage increase in the Hos-
pital Inpatient Market Basket Update (as 
described in section 1886(b)(3)(B)(i)) for 
the technical component payments during 
each 12-month period, and which varies for

ket.’’. The Department continued: ‘‘China’s lack of 
transparency and use of a wide array of tools com-
plicate Treasury’s ability to assess the degree to 
which official actions are designed to impact the ex-
change rate.’’. 
(3) In that report, the Department further 
noted that ‘‘China’s failure to publish foreign ex-
change intervention and broader lack of trans-
parency around key features of its exchange rate 
mechanism make it an outlier among major econo-
mies and warrants Treasury’s close monitoring.’’. 
SEC. 3. ADVOCACY FOR INCREASED EXCHANGE RATE 
TRANSPARENCY FROM CHINA. 
The Secretary of the Treasury shall instruct the 
United States Executive Director at the International 
Monetary Fund (in this Act referred to as the ‘‘IMF’’) 
to use the voice and vote of the United States to advocate 
for— 
(1) increased transparency from the People’s 
Republic of China, and enhanced multilateral and bi-
lateral surveillance by the IMF, with respect to the 
exchange rate arrangements of the People’s Republic 
of China, including any indirect foreign exchange 
market intervention through Chinese financial insti-
tutions or state-owned enterprises;

any significant divergences by the People’s Republic 
of China from the exchange rate policies of other 
issuers of currencies used in determining the value

date that is 30 days after the earlier of—

the IMF reports to the Congress that the People’s 
Republic of China—
