Core Viewpoint - The People's Bank of China (PBOC) has adopted a moderately loose monetary policy, focusing on maintaining liquidity and stabilizing market interest rates through various tools, including reverse repos and medium-term lending facilities (MLF) [1][2][3].

Group 2: Market Conditions - The banking system has experienced a tight funding environment, with the weighted average interest rate for 7-day repo transactions remaining above 1.7% and exceeding 2.0% since March 27 [2]. - Market experts suggest that the tightening of liquidity is a result of the PBOC's efforts to stabilize the exchange rate and manage interest rate risks [2]. Group 3: Future Expectations - Some market analysts believe that liquidity is gradually shifting towards a more accommodative stance, with expectations for a balanced approach to monetary policy that supports growth and credit [3]. - There is an anticipation of increased government bond issuance, which may require a more accommodative liquidity environment to avoid high issuance costs [3]. - The PBOC may resume government bond purchases and expand reverse repo operations or consider reserve requirement ratio cuts to inject liquidity into the market [3][4].
