Authorities could make a RRR cut in Q2 to adjust liquidity and prices in coordination with fiscal plans, according to Wu Chaoming, vice president of the Institute of Finance and Information Technology. However, officials will likely delay lowering interest rates even though economic conditions necessitate further cuts, Wu continued. Zhang Yiqun, a deputy director at the China Fiscal Society, said the government can alleviate fiscal fund pressure and buffer short-term debt repayment issues through issuing ultra-long-term special bonds.
