The People's Bank of China is increasingly likely to cut the RRR the second half of 2021.

Bloomberg report on the analysis from TD:

  • “Moderating activity and a likely targeted policy approach mean that a further cut in the reserve-requirement ratio in the second half appears increasingly likely”

Bloomberg go on:

  • next window for the People's Bank of China to add to monetary easing appears to be in about two weeks' time, when 700 billion yuan ($108 billion) of medium-term policy loans mature.
  • To add accommodation, the authorities may opt to inject more liquidity than the amount coming due, or even go as far as to cut the interest rate on the loans.
