      SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China's central bank cut the amount of cash that banks must hold as reserves on Saturday, freeing an estimated 400 billion yuan ($63.5 billion) for lending to head-off the risk of a sudden slowdown in the world's second-largest economy. The People's Bank of China delivered a 50 basis point cut in banks' reserve requirement ratio (RRR), effective from May 18, the third cut in six months and one that investors had called for after data on Friday showed the economy weakening, not recovering, from its slowest quarter of growth in three years. ...

    • China Announces RRR Cut Of At Least 50 bps; First Since February 2016

      In a sign that China's ongoing attempts to delever the economy may have gone a bit too far, on Saturday morning China’s central bank announced a targeted reserve requirement ratio (RRR) cut, its first since February 2016 and which will go into effect in 2018, in an attempt to boost lending to struggling smaller firms and energize China's lacklustre private sector, Xinhua reported. 

    • China cuts bank reserve ratio as growth slows

      BEIJING: China's central bank announced Sunday it would cut the level of funds that commercial banks must hold in reserve by one percentage point, the second such move this year to boost lending. The move, effective Monday, comes days after the world's second largest economy reported its worst quarterly growth figure for six years. In a statement on its website, the People's Bank of China (PBoC) said it will give an additional one-percentage-point RRR cut to banks for agricultural services and a further two-percentage-point cut to the Agricultural Development Bank of China.

    • China moves to boost banks’ lending, signalling renewed focus on growth over yuan

      China’s latest easing move signals that shoring up growth is the government’s top priority even if doing so further weakens the yuan or adds to leverage that threatens the longer-term health of the world’s second-biggest economy.

    • China’s Growth Story Ends With a Whimper

      The Chinese model of economic growth is flawed. It has wasted resources on an unprecedented scale. Empty cities, excess industrial capacity and sour construction loans litter the country. New lending yields less and less incremental growth. And the very worst construction projects aren’t producing enough cash to service debts. The Chinese economy, like most others, rests on a shaky foundation of credit. The country has completed the largest building boom in history — a boom that depended on unsustainable growth in the supply of money and credit.

      BEIJING: China's annual economic growth likely slowed to a six-year low of 7 percent in the first quarter as demand at home and abroad faltered, fanning expectations that authorities will have to roll out more policy stimulus to avert a sharper slowdown. Chinese reform-minded leaders, while emphasizing the need to adapt to "a new normal" of slower but better-quality growth, have signalled growing concern about a deeper downturn that could fuel job losses and debt defaults.
