The paper analyses the approval of IMF for Yuan as one of the currency in the basket of SDR which will effect from 1-10-2016 showing the weight of Yuan as 10.92% as against 41.7% for US$, 30.9% for Euro , 8.3% for Yen and 8.1% for Pound Sterling respectively. An alternative weight for the SDR basket is proposed. 

The paper explained that the decision of IMF will boost internationalization of Yuan,will speed up the transition from managed float to freely floating exchange rate mechanism including reform of financial sector and capital account convertibility as well as bust in the equity and share markets. It might increase Chinese global export share and expect further depreciation of Yuan subject to increase in interest rate in Federal Reserve Bank.

The paper verified that Chinese gross and global shares of export and import are positively associated with gross SDR and global share of SDR during 1980-2013 which were observed by double log regression model but these variables were not cointegrated which are calculated by Johansen Cointegration Test. ARIMA(1,1,1) model is tested to show the stationarity of Yuan US$ monthly nominal exchange rate during 2010M1-2016M1. AR(3) process is applied to verify the volatility, stability and stationarity. Even GARCH(1,1) model including conditional variance were used to show high volatility during the specified period.

The paper emphasized that in the long run, China will lead the Asian and world capital market as well as Asian and global trade and finance as were observed in ancient past during 1300-1700.By 2030,Chinese global GDP share is projected as 33.4% as against 33.1% of USA. It is hoped that Chinese new status in the IMF might bring back as a catalyst to stabilize international monetary system with the emergence of SDR as a world reserve currency and as an unit of account for international payments mechanism if most of the countries peg their currencies with SDR which can converge international price level and increase global trade so that shortage of international liquidity might disappear and reestablishment of a new Bretton Woods III might evolve.
My paper is awarded as the best paper in the Technical Session -4 (Photo -Prof.S.Bag, Prof.P. Bezborah, Dr.Bhowmik and Prof.D.Biswas).
