I thought the IMF had made it clear that the yuan could never join the SDR basket as long as China kept currency controls in place. The article says the IMF&#x27;s analysts have suddenly decided that the yuan is &quot;freely usable&quot;, and it does mention other liberalizations that China has done, but there is nothing about whether capital controls were loosened. Did China adjust its policy here, or is the IMF lowering its standards due to Chinese pressure, or was I mistaken all along that currency controls were a no-go?
