China's latest policy signals have a bigger impact on sentiment than resolving deeper issues such as real estate, analysts said.

2024-09-25


China's central bank has shifted to a more aggressive easing stance, but its policy weapons don't have the key enemy to economic growth in their line of sight: the persistently weak consumer demand. The liquidity injections and the lower borrowing costs flagged by the People's Bank of China on Tuesday have lifted market sentiment, but mainly because they raised expectations authorities will follow soon with a fiscal package to complement the monetary and financial measures. The world's second-largest economy faces strong deflationary pressures and risks missing this year's roughly 5% growth target due to a sharp property downturn and frail consumer confidence, which analysts say only fiscal policies that put money into consumer pockets through higher pensions and other social benefits can address.

Niles Investment Management founder and portfolio manager Dan Niles says whether China's interest rate cut will spur him to buy Chinese stocks on 'Making Money.'

BEIJING (Reuters) -China's central bank on Tuesday unveiled its biggest stimulus since the pandemic to pull the economy out of its deflationary funk and back towards the government's growth target, but analysts warned more fiscal help was vital to hit these goals. The broader-than-expected package offering more funding and interest rate cuts marks the latest attempt by policymakers to restore confidence in the world's second-largest economy after a slew of disappointing data raised concerns of a prolonged structural slowdown. But analysts questioned how productive the People's Bank of China's liquidity injections would be, given extremely weak credit demand from businesses and consumers, and noted the absence of any policies aimed at supporting real economic activity.

It comes just days after the US central bank cut interest rates for the first time in over four years.

The country’s central bank also freed commercial banks to lend more money in a package of moves aimed at rekindling growth in a stagnant economy.

Beijing’s leaders are working with regional neighbors on the country’s western, northern and southern borders to develop new rail and sea links.
