The Chinese stock markets promptly reacted to the new policy changes the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) announced. These policies are the most aggressive stimulus proposed in China since the 2020 pandemic. The PBOC governor, Pan Gongsheng, issued a rare statement announcing several policy changes to boost investor confidence.
The PBOC’s policy review announcement detailed that the central bank will cut the reserve requirement ratio for banking institutions by 50 basis points. The central bank’s governor also announced that the seven-day reverse purchase rate will be reduced from 1.7% to 1.5%.
Pan Gongsheng stated that the loan prime rate will reduce by 0.2 to 0.25 percentage points. However, he did not mention when the seven-day reverse purchase rate change will be implemented. He also failed to mention if the loan prime rate under revision is the one-year or five-year loan prime rate. The five-year LPR is at 3.85%, while the one-year LPR currently stands at 3.35%.
Other policy changes followed, adding fuel to the growing movement. On Sunday, China’s central bank announced a reduction in mortgage rates for existing home loans. The policy will be implemented before October 31st.&nbsp;
