China: monetary easing and financial reform in one stepNordea
China delivered another dual cut today to support the struggling economy, 25bp to the interest rates and 50bp to the reserve ratio. As a historical move, the deposit rate ceiling was removed, making interest rates fully liberalised and increasing the CNY’s chance of being a reserve currency. The easing is likely to keep short-term growth stable but risks aggravating the existing problem faced by the economy. We remain cautious for the medium-term outlook
