Conclusion

• Undervaluation of exchange rate is a very important theoretical and empirical contributor to the Chinese growth performance. •Each 10 percent appreciation of the yuan would lower China’s growth rate by 1.4 percent per annum.•India growth rate is expected to be higher than China by 2010.•Poverty levels ($ a day poverty line) are the same in India and China (circa 2003).
