LEADERS of 20 major economies yesterday refused to endorse a United States push to get China to let its currency rise, keeping alive a dispute that has raised the specter of a trade war.
The biggest disappointment for the US was the pledge by the leaders to refrain from "competitive devaluation" of currencies. Using a slightly different wording favored by the US - "competitive undervaluation" - would have shown the G20 taking a stronger stance on China's currency policy.
The United States claims China is artificially keeping its yuan weak to gain a trade advantage. US President Barack Obama said yesterday the yuan is an "irritant" to the US and other trading partners.
