China's economic growth is going to return to its potential rate this year and the central bank will keep its policy appropriate and supportive, said Yi Gang, governor of the People’s Bank of China, on Wednesday.

“We will keep our accommodative monetary policy flexible and appropriate, and increase support for key areas and weak links in the economy,” Yi said online to a G-20 finance meeting in Jakarta, see: MNI INTERVIEW: Investment, Easy Policy The Mix For China GDP.

Yi told the meeting of finance ministers and central bank chiefs that the PBOC has worked to improve cross border trade and use local currencies via swap agreements with many Asian economies in response to growing demand for the yuan. Yi said that emerging markets are prone to tighter financial conditions and regional financial cooperation has a key role to play. The Asian economy is more resilient to external shots as countries have “made substantial progress” in local currency usage, he noted.
