Talk:Currency intervention

Bias in Article
The article claims that the Japanese action of "printing yen" helped the USA by keeping interest rate low at a time when US was running major deficits. Meanwhile, it is accusing China of "bending the rule". In reality, both countries are doing the same thing: printing money to buy up US treasuries to keep their currency low. But somehow, Japan is helping the USA but China is "cheating"? 69.166.118.234 (talk) 03:50, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Sterilized Intervention Table
Shouldn't the tables for "Central Bank Sale of Home-Currency Bonds" and "Net Effect of a Sterilized Foreign-Exchange Purchase" reflect a change in assets of "Home-Currency Bonds (-1)" instead of "Foreign-currency Bonds (-1)", or am I misunderstanding something fundamental?

Dr. Yetman's comment on this article
Dr. Yetman has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

"The biggest problem with this page is the quality of the writing. The first two paras especially are not exactly wrong, but very poorly written.

Of the "modern examples", the swiss franc example is clearly very poorly written. The Japanese yen example is not a particularly compelling one: intervention there was a long time ago, and was small relative to the size of the economy. The yuan case needs an edit and also an update (intervention there recently has been to reduce the effects of depreciation pressures- ie the opposite of the period discussed in the entry.

By contrast, the ruble case is very well written and up-to date"

We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.
