The People’s Bank (PBOC) has just announced a cut to the required reserve ratio (RRR) for most banks, shortly after Premier Li and the Politburo each separately hinted at an increase in policy support. There is already evidence of fiscal easing, and we expect policy rate cuts from the PBOC before long. That said, there still appears to be little appetite at the central bank for a sharp rebound in credit growth, and we’re seeing an opening of the fiscal taps, not a flood. This easing will cushion but not stop growth from slowing.
