Pan Gongsheng, the Governor of the People's Bank of China, stated that the upcoming cuts to the reserve requirement ratio (RRR) would inject approximately 1 trillion yuan in long-term liquidity into the economy. This is part of a broader strategy to stimulate the economy, which has shown signs of slowing growth as Beijing's targets seem increasingly difficult to attain due to various economic pressures.
The central bank is set to lower the seven-day reverse repurchase rate by 0.2 percentage points as part of these measures. This announcement has already sparked a strong rally in Chinese stocks, indicating market optimism. However, experts warn that without improved fiscal measures from the government, these steps may not be enough to significantly enhance economic growth.
Economic expert Julian Evans-Pritchard highlighted that while the measures announced by the central bank are positively viewed as a step in the right direction, they may not be sufficient to reverse the ongoing economic downturn unless supported by greater fiscal initiatives from the government. The emphasis on liquidity and borrowing costs is essential, but holistic measures are crucial for meaningful recovery.
