Zhu Hexin, Deputy Governor of the PBoC, Xu Hongcai, assistant minister of the MoF and Lian Weiliang, vice-chairman of the NDRC briefed reporters in Beijing at a news conference organized by the State Council Information Office on Tuesday, the report added.
Also, PBoC Deputy Governor Zhu Hexin said that a prudent monetary policy does not mean that there would be no changes and existing monetary policy measures should be improved when asked if the central bank should cut benchmark interest rates.
"We maintain our short USD/CNH positon with a target of 6.70 amid China’s pro-growth policies," Scotiabank commented in the report.
