As the National Day holiday approaches, the three major financial regulatory institutions in China will gather for a rare meeting before the holiday.
At 9 a.m. this morning, Pan Gongsheng, Governor of the People's Bank of China, along with Li Yunze, Director of the National Financial Supervision Administration, and Wu Qing, Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, gathered at the State Council Information Office to introduce the relevant situation of financial support for high-quality economic development.
It is worth mentioning that in January of this year, the People's Bank of China, the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, and the China Securities Regulatory Commission gathered at the State Council Information Office. At that time, the central bank announced a 0.5 percentage point reserve requirement cut two weeks ahead of the Spring Festival (February 5), expected to release 1 trillion yuan of medium- and long-term liquidity. The central bank also lowered the interest rates for supporting agriculture, small businesses, rediscounting by 0.25 percentage points.
According to a report previously released by Tauchuan, Chief Economist of Minsheng Securities, historically, the period just before the National Day holiday seems to be an "important window" for policy announcements.
