China's potential capital outflows in 2016-2017 if 1-2% of the urban population convert the max of $50,000 from yuan to dollars- $370 billion -$740 billion

01/15/2016

The most affluent of the $737 million Chinese in cities could become nervous about loss of value in the currency and convert up to the maximum of $50,000. This would lead to larger capital outflows than the PBOC has in mind., says Aaron Back of the WSJ in Jan. 2016. This worries the central bank PBOC, because the reserves of $3.3 trillion include illiquid investments such as loans to Venezuela on oil assets, the Asian Infrastructure Bank and other investments. With its large and aging population China also has to keep reserves for future Social Security and other plans.
