In the latest move to shore up support for the real economy, the central bank announced in late November that it would cut the reserve requirement ratio for eligible financial institutions by 0.25 percentage points. The adjustment took effect on Monday and will inject 500 billion yuan of liquidity into the economy.

Prior to the move, a State Council executive meeting held on Nov. 22 said that China will take solid steps to ensure the full and effective implementation of the policy package to stabilize the economy and follow-up measures, to consolidate the foundations of economic recovery and growth.

On Tuesday, a meeting convened by the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee stressed that the country will pay special attention to ensuring steady growth, employment and prices, forestall and defuse major risks effectively, and strive to achieve an overall improvement in the country's economic performance, characterized by higher quality and reasonable growth.
