Král, Martin ; Brůna, Karel (advisor) ; Pour, Jiří (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to answer the question of whether the Chinese currency fulfills prerequisites for becoming another reserve currency alongside the already used reserve currencies and whether the Chinese authorities are able to ensure necessary changes for a smooth transition to a new monetary regime. China has already made a series of steps in this direction. The previous question will be answered accordingly. The first section of this paper summarizes general knowledge about world currency, its functions, features, and its position in the world economy, with the advantages and disadvantages accruing to the world currency issued by the state. There are presented factors that are prerequisites for internationalization of the currency. The second part deals with the Chinese currency and factors such as the size and openness of the Chinese economy, the analysis of the Chinese financial market, the exchange rate system and the convertibility of the yuan, which affects international currency status. The conclusion evaluates prospects for the yuan to achieve the statute of the world's reserve currency.
