China and Japan Not Cited for Currency Manipulation by Treasury Dept.

Last month I blogged about how the signing of the Trans-Pacific Partnership could impact U.S. economy. Last week, the U.S. Treasury Department released its semiannual report, which did not cite China or Japan for currency manipulation.

Last week, the U.S. Department of the Treasury released its Semi-Annual Report to Congress on International Economic and Exchange Rate Policies.  The report did not cite either China or Japan for currency manipulation. Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM) President Scott Paul is disappointed, noting, “While the decision not to cite China or Japan for currency manipulation is disappointing, I have to say that it's not terribly surprising given Treasury's track record. However, under a classic definition of currency manipulation both countries would easily qualify.”
 
He goes on to say the ball in now in Congress’s court. “We have bipartisan legislation that passed the House of Representatives in 2010, passed the U.S. Senate in 2011, and would sail through both chambers today. The Alliance for American Manufacturing continues to believe that countries like China and Japan will only take the U.S. government seriously if words are backed by action."
