The People's Bank of China (PBOC) is taking bold steps to supercharge the economy! 💪📈 On Friday, the PBOC announced a 0.5 percentage point cut in the reserve requirement ratio for financial institutions, aiming to foster stable growth and high-quality development.
✨ What does this mean? Excluding those already with a 5% reserve ratio, the new weighted average reserve requirement will be around 6.6%. This move is part of the PBOC's strategy to implement stronger counter-cyclical monetary policies.
But that's not all! The central bank also reduced the interest rate for seven-day reverse repo operations from 1.70% to 1.50%. 📉 While rates for the 14-day reverse repo and temporary liquidity operations will be adjusted based on this change, the existing margin adjustments remain the same.
These measures follow a series of early-week announcements, including support for the property sector and the capital market. The PBOC is clearly committed to creating a sound financial environment to ensure sustainable economic growth. 🌟
