Core Viewpoint - The People's Bank of China (PBOC) is implementing a series of monetary policy measures to support market stability and expectations, including a reduction in reserve requirements and interest rates to enhance liquidity and support specific sectors like technology and consumption [1][3]. Monetary Policy Measures - The PBOC will introduce three categories of ten monetary policy measures, focusing on quantity-based, price-based, and structural policies [1][3]. - Quantity-based policies include a 0.5 percentage point reduction in the reserve requirement ratio (RRR), expected to provide approximately 1 trillion yuan in long-term liquidity [3]. - Price-based policies involve a 0.1 percentage point reduction in policy interest rates, lowering the 7-day reverse repurchase rate from 1.5% to 1.4%, which is anticipated to lead to a similar decrease in the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) [3][4]. Structural Adjustments - The PBOC is refining the reserve requirement system for auto finance and financial leasing companies, reducing their RRR from 5% to 0% to enhance their liquidity and support credit supply in specific sectors [4][5]. - This adjustment aims to lower the funding costs for these institutions and improve their stability in providing financial support for automotive consumption and equipment investment [5][6]. Market Liquidity and Economic Context - Current market liquidity issues are primarily structural, necessitating a focus on long-term liquidity supply while reducing reliance on short-term liquidity tools [4]. - The average reserve requirement ratio for commercial banks was 6.6% prior to the recent reduction, indicating potential for further decreases in the future [6]. - Experts suggest that the reserve requirement ratio could be lowered to levels seen in developed countries, with a potential reduction space of 2 to 2.5 percentage points remaining [6].
