WASHINGTON, Oct 15 (Reuters) - The U.S. Treasury Department said on Friday it is delaying a decision on whether China manipulates its currency until after a pair of international meetings in November.
"The Treasury will delay the publication of the report on international economic and exchange rate policies in order to take advantage of the opportunity provided by these important meetings," it said in a statement.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told Congress last month he would rally other Group of 20 nations to put pressure on China to let the yuan rise faster.
