The People's Bank of China, echoing its statement of June 19 when it ended the yuan's 23-month-old peg to the dollar, said it would improve the currency's exchange rate mechanism and adjust its value with reference to a basket of foreign currencies.

In a summary of its second-quarter monetary report, released on the PBOC's website, the central bank said the world's third-largest economy was headed in the direction it expected.
