--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. Chinas biggest exchange-rate reforms in a decade have had little impact on the yuans chances of winning reserve status at the International Monetary Fund, with questions still being asked about the extent to which the currency has been freed. The Peoples Bank of China surprised investors in August with a devaluation and a shift to a more market-oriented yuan reference rate, moves that triggered the steepest depreciation in two decades. Policy makers responded with record intervention, curbs on forwards trading and increased scrutiny of outflows. John Greenwood, chief economist at Invesco Asset Management and architect of Hong Kongs currency peg to the greenback, says the yuans chances of being selected this year to join the dollar, euro, pound and yen in the IMFs Special Drawing Rights are at best 45 percent.
