Chinanews, Beijing, Oct 17 – The People's Bank of China announced recently that starting from October 25, the central bank will raise the required reserve ratio by another 0.5 percentage point. By then, the required reserve ratio for financial institutions will reach 13%, the highest point in ten years, the International Finance News/i> reported.
The measure is aimed at “resolving excessive liquidity1 problem and curbing3 the fast increase of loan release”, said the central bank in announcing the measure. Compared with the previous time, it becomes clear that the central bank's efforts to curb2 the amount of money issued in the market have quickened. In a recent interview, Yin Jianfeng, head of the Financial Structure Research Department under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences's Finance Reserach Institute, said on Monday that the central bank's efforts had achieved some positive results. The basic money issued in the market which resulted from the exchange rate difference had been offsetted generally in recent years.
When asked whether the central bank would further raise the required reserve ratio in future, Yin said that would depend on how much trade surplus China would have. The economist4 predicted that China's trade surplus in future would not increase at such a fast speed as now. Affected5 by the adjusted export trade refund6 policy, trade surplus growth rate in China declined sharply during the first half of this year. It will decline further during the second half of the year until next year. Meanwhile, the negative effects of the sub-prime housing crisis to US economy have not fully7 exposed yet. If the crisis badly affects American people's wealth, it will also affect their consumption. By then, Chinese export to US will also be affected as well, said Yin.
However, Qin Hongyu, an economist at BNP Paribas Equities8 Limited, predicted that China would raise the required reserve ratio for another time by the end of this year.
Raising required reserve ratio is one of the three major measures often used by the central bank. In applying this measure, the central bank will require that commercial banks should keep a certain proportion of the deposited money in order to control excessive liquidity. When companies are eager to borrow loans from banks, raising required reserve ratio can prevent banks from releasing too many loans to companies.
