支持资本市场的两项货币政策工具将持续发力显效

Core Viewpoint - The People's Bank of China (PBOC) emphasizes the importance of maintaining capital market stability through the use of swap facilities and stock repurchase loans, reflecting a consistent policy focus throughout 2023 [1][2]. Group 1: Policy Tools - The PBOC introduced two key tools in October 2024: swap facilities with an initial quota of 500 billion yuan and stock repurchase loans with a quota of 300 billion yuan to support the capital market [1]. - The swap facility operates on a "bond-for-bond" basis, allowing eligible securities, fund, and insurance companies to use high-quality assets as collateral to obtain government bonds and central bank bills, enhancing liquidity without directly increasing the monetary base [1][2]. Group 2: Market Impact - The implementation of these tools has led to sustained liquidity in the equity market, significantly boosting investor confidence and maintaining a high risk appetite among investors [1][2]. - As of December 25, the swap facility has conducted two operations totaling 105 billion yuan, while 708 listed companies have disclosed 784 stock repurchase loan plans, with a total loan cap of 158.35 billion yuan [2]. Group 3: Future Outlook - Experts anticipate that the institutionalization of these tools will further stabilize market expectations and enhance investor confidence, with potential future optimizations based on market needs [3]. - The PBOC is expected to continue focusing on liquidity in the equity market and may implement additional measures such as reserve requirement ratio cuts and interest rate reductions to maintain macro liquidity stability [2].
