Wen Bin, chief economist at China Minsheng Bank, wrote that the People's Bank of China (PBOC) Governor Pan Gongsheng announced a package of incremental policies with strength exceeding market expectations to ease currency, support the property market, and stabilize the economy at the press conference held by the State Council Information Office on financial support for high-quality economic development.

Among them, the central bank lowered the required reserve ratios by 0.5 ppts, providing long-term liquidity of RMB1 trillion. Depending on market liquidity conditions, it may further reduce the ratios by 0.25-0.5 ppts within the year, potentially releasing up to RMB2 trillion in liquidity and dropping banks' liability costs by about RMB8 billion.
