--FILE--A Chinese clerk uses a cash-counting machine to count RMB (renminbi) yuan banknotes at a bank in Huaibei city, east China's Anhui province, 26 August 2015. International Monetary Fund staff are set to give the all-clear for Chinas yuan to be included in the lenders benchmark currency basket, laying the groundwork for a favorable decision by policymakers, people familiar with the discussions said on Sunday£¨25 October 2015. The IMFs executive board is scheduled to decide in November on putting the yuan on a par with the dollar, yen, euro and pound sterling and a key factor will be its performance against a checklist of technical criteria, as assessed by IMF staff. Three people briefed on the IMF discussions, who asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the issue, said a draft report from staff reached a favorable conclusion on including the yuan, also known as the renminbi (RMB). Everything is on course technically and there is no obvious political obstacle. The report leans clearly towards including the RMB in the (basket) but leaves the decision for the board, one of the officials said, adding that a penciled-in early November date for staff to circulate their report to board members has been pushed back by several weeks.
