CPA Statement on Treasury Department Report Regarding Currency Practices

The Coalition for a Prosperous America is extremely disappointed that the Administration declined to cite China, Japan or any other country as a currency manipulator in the Semi-Annual Treasury Report to the Congress on Currency released April 15, 2009.

The facts are clear that China, Japan and other countries’ maintain persistently undervalued currencies. This causes their products to be artificially cheap on the international markets and, conversely, U.S. products to be artificially expensive. The result is a record and growing U.S. trade deficit that reduces GDP and harms our farmers, ranchers, workers and manufacturers. Free trade is a fallacy when countries maintain misaligned currencies.
