US EditionChina eases monetary policy to boost ailing economy
- China eased key monetary policy tools on May 7, 2025, in Beijing to stimulate its struggling economy.
- This move responds to sluggish domestic demand, weak consumption, a property crisis, and ongoing trade tensions with the US.
- Central bank head Pan Gongsheng announced cuts to interest rates and bank reserve requirements, aiming to boost lending and support homebuyers.
- The interest rate on loans for initial homebuyers with terms longer than five years is being reduced from 2.85% to 2.6%, while Beijing aims for an ambitious 5% growth rate this year despite ongoing trade tensions.
- Analysts see the measures as positive but note missing fiscal policies and expect more actions if economic data worsens due to trade war effects.
