The United States has repeatedly referred to a senior Chinese central banker as the head or acting head of the People's Bank of China (PBOC) in recent days, appearing to confirm his expected elevation to the top post.
The Treasury Department was already referring to Pan as central bank head after Yellen met him on Friday. She also met Yi and other officials including Premier Li Qiang, during her four-day visit.
The PBOC and China's State Council Information Office, which handles media queries on behalf of the government, did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Sunday.
