1948年12月,人民解放战争大局已定。解放区开始发行人民币,并规定它今后为新中国的本位币。1949年3月,中共中央在西柏坡召开七届二中全会,决定成立中央财政经济委员会(简称中财委),陈云同志为主任。 当时,全国的经济形势相当严峻,人民币举步艰难。 In December 1948, the general plan of the People’s Liberation War was finalized. The liberated areas began to issue renminbi, and set it in the future for the new China’s currency. In 1949 March, the CPC Central Committee held the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee in Xibaipo, and decided to set up the Central Financial and Economic Committee (referred to as the Central Finance Commission) and Comrade Chen Yun as the director. At that time, the economic situation in the country was rather harsh and the renminbi was struggling.
