National Development and Reform Commission-affiliated State Information Center economist Li Ruoyu says the People’s Bank of China should cut the reserve ratio and benchmark interest rate

  • Says to ensure banking-system liquidity
  • & to guide down market interest rates
  • Says the fall in lending rates lags behind the PPI decline - which results in a continuous rise of actual lending costs for industry
  • Regulators should encourage bank lending to the real economy
