Another interpretation of the August 11 move is that it paved the way for the renminbi’s inclusion in the basket of currencies that comprise the International Monetary Fund’s unit of account, Special Drawing Rights. In order to be included in the SDR basket, a currency must be widely used in international transactions.
另外一种对八月十一日调整的解读则是它为人民币进入国际货币基金组织特别提款权账户的一揽子货币名录铺平了道路。被选入特别提款权货币名录的前提就是货币必须被广泛应用于国际交易中，而人民币已经大量应用在国际商品贸易的报价和结算之中，尤其是在中国自身与外国的贸易方面。
