At the press conference of the State Council Information Office held on the 24th, the relevant person in charge of the People's Bank of China detailed the key work of this year and responded to hot issues. "The monetary policy is" self centered "with sufficient space. We will adhere to a prudent monetary policy, implement flexible, moderate, precise and effective requirements, and continue to create a good monetary and financial environment for stable growth of the real economy." Pan Gongsheng, President of the People's Bank of China, reiterated the "prudent" monetary policy orientation at the press conference. Over the past year, the People's Bank of China has timely strengthened countercyclical regulation, lowered the reserve requirement ratio twice, and lowered policy interest rates twice, maintaining a reasonable and sufficient market liquidity and providing strong support for the development of the real economy. "In the past few years, compared with the significant increase in monetary policy in developed economies, China's monetary policy operation has been relatively stable, and the regulatory and transmission mechanisms of monetary policy have been continuously enriched and improved, creating conditions for sustainable support of economic development." Pan Gongsheng said that the People's Bank of China will continue to strengthen cross cycle and countercyclical regulation, taking maintaining price stability and promoting moderate price recovery as important considerations for grasping monetary policy. We must adhere to the goals of monetary policy, maintain the stability of the currency value, and promote economic growth through this. The market generally predicts that the Federal Reserve's monetary policy will shift in 2024. What impact will this have on China's monetary policy? "China's monetary policy always adheres to self centeredness while balancing internal and external factors." Pan Gongsheng gave an answer: In 2024, the spillover effect of monetary policy in developed economies will develop towards reduced pressure, and the cyclical difference in monetary policy between China and the United States is converging. This objectively helps to enhance the autonomy of China's monetary policy operation and expand the space for monetary policy operation. On that day, the People's Bank of China announced a 0.5 percentage point reduction in the reserve requirement ratio for financial institutions starting from February 5th, and a 0.25 percentage point reduction in the support for agriculture, small businesses, and rediscount rates starting from January 25th. "At present, there is still enough space for China's monetary policy. We will balance the relationship between short-term and long-term, stable growth and risk prevention, internal balance and external balance, strengthen countercyclical and cross cyclical regulation, and create a good monetary and financial environment for economic operation," said Pan Gongsheng.
