Increased Liquidity Measures by China's Central Bank
China's central bank is taking significant steps to increase liquidity in the banking system to stimulate economic growth. The central bank has implemented a cut in the reserve requirement ratio by half a percent, which will lower the weighted average ratio for lenders to 6.6%. This decision follows a key meeting by the Communist Party's Central Committee that highlighted the need for stronger measures to support key sectors such as housing, private enterprises, and employment.
