Industrial & Commercial Bank of China researcher Wang Jie says People’s Bank of China easing is insufficient and money isn't flowing to the real economy:

  • Excess reserve deposits with the PBOC may have been as high as 4% of all deposits at the end of April compared with a normal 2%
  • This suggests money isn't getting to the real economy despite recent PBOC easing
  • PBOC needs to relax policy more
  • The current 16.5% deposit-reserve ratio and 5.5% lending rates leave enough room for more cuts
