- Chinese chief economists expect additional fiscal stimulus after the central bank unveiled monetary easing and the politburo called for increasing countercyclical measures, Securities Daily reports. Authorities are likely to announce more incremental policies to achieve the annual economic and social development goals in Q4, said Chen Li, chief economist at Sichuan Cai Securities. Officials may issue additional treasury bonds in the final quarter and relax the use of ultra-long-term special treasury bonds and local special bonds.
- Authorities should coordinate efforts to effectively solve the economy’s problems and strive to complete the government’s goals and tasks this year, Premier Li Qiang said at a State Council executive meeting. Li called for officials to speed up implementation and launch mature policies immediately. Additionally, new incremental measures should be studied in a timely manner according to changes in the environment, Li added.
