About this work

Currency valuations varied sharply across emerging markets in November 2020 despite broad dollar overvaluation. Robin Brooks and Jonathan Fortun distinguish an undervalued renminbi and several Latin American commodity currencies from overvaluation in Argentina, Egypt and South Africa. China’s rising external surplus supported their contemporary assessment of its currency.
