The monetary response should focus on maintaining lower interest rates and ensuring sufficient liquidity to help achieve debt sustainability, and fiscal authorities need to enlarge public spending and cut taxes with an extended deficit, said policy advisers.
The People’s Bank of China, the central bank, pledged over the weekend it would implement “a more flexible and powerful” monetary policy to counter economic downturn pressure and mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 shocks, while maintaining financial stability.
Monetary policy tools include re-lending and re-discounting facilities, through which the central bank can provide funds to commercial banks.
