英文摘要：

Continuous appreciation expectation of RMB currency causes challenge to China＇s exchange rate mechanism reform and financial stability. In this paper, we use the survey data from well-known international financial institutions to analyze the characteristics of RMB exchange rate expectation and obtain two major findings： （ 1 ） financial institutions＇ expectation towards exchange rate is irrational; （2） their exchange rate expectation is heterogeneous, in that more than 70% of financial institutions forecast exchange rate movements based on its past trend, while an average of 25% of financial institutions revert to macro fundamental; what＇s more, their degrees of attention differ when facing the same information. The above findings provide new reference to understand the characteristics of RMB exchange rate expectation and thus to conduct exchange rate mechanism reforms.
