值得关注的是，去年中央经济工作会议对降准降息的相关表述为"适时降准降息"。中信证券首席经济学 家明明在接受《证券日报》记者采访时认为，相较于去年的表述，会议提及"灵活高效运用降准降息等 多种政策工具"，表述重点更多落在政策的效率和主动性上。 在天风证券（601162）固收首席分析师谭逸鸣看来，会议明确提出"灵活高效运用降准降息等多种政策 工具"，预计2026年的总量宽松政策仍有一定空间，"灵活高效"意味着中国人民银行将根据经济增长、 物价走势及外部环境的变化，择机、小幅地使用价格型工具。预计2026年上半年，中国人民银行或实施 一次降息，幅度在10个基点左右，不排除一季度落地的可能性。此外，还可能实施一次降准，幅度在50 个基点左右。 光大证券固收首席分析师张旭认为，未来一两个月内降准或降息落地的概率较高。降准和降息既有共同 的作用，也受到共同的制约。补充银行体系流动性是降准特有的作用，而降息还受到银行净息差的制 约，在不同阶段宜根据经济金融形势和金融市场运行情况选择不同的政策工具。 民生银行首席经济学家温彬对《证券日报》记者表示，"把促进经济稳定增长、物价合理回升作为货币 政策的重要考量"反映出在后续货币政 ...
