易綱：穩(wěn)健的貨幣政策要松緊適度
China will continue to adopt a prudent monetary policy that will be eased or tightened to the right degree, the country's central bank governor said Sunday.
中國人民銀行行長易綱說，我們將實行穩(wěn)健的貨幣政策，貨幣政策在總量上要松緊適度。
"Although we no longer use the term 'neutral', the essence of our prudent monetary policy has not changed," Yi Gang, head of the People's Bank of China told a news conference on the sidelines of the annual legislative session.
易綱說：“和以前比較，這次我們沒有提‘中性’，更簡潔，但實際上穩(wěn)健貨幣政策的內涵沒有變。”
The policy will stress counter-cyclical adjustment and mean that the increases in M2 money supply and aggregate financing should be in keeping with nominal GDP growth, Yi said.
穩(wěn)健的貨幣政策要體現逆周期的調節(jié)。今年的松緊適度，就是要把廣義貨幣(M2)和社會融資規(guī)模的增速大體上和名義GDP的增速保持一致。
It will also entail greater support to small- and micro-sized enterprises and private businesses, he added.
我們將進一步加強對小微企業(yè)和民營企業(yè)的財政支持。
China's monetary policy, mainly devised to fit the domestic economic situation, will also take into account global factors and China's position in the global economic system as well as the export-oriented sectors, Yi said.
我們考慮貨幣政策的時候，當然要以國內的經濟形勢為主來考慮，但同時要兼顧國際和中國在全球經濟關系中的地位和我們外向型經濟的方面。
易綱：存款準備金率還有很大的空間
Chinese central bank governor said Sunday that there is still some room for lowering the country's reserve requirement ratio.

The overall reserve requirement ratio now stands at around 12 percent, a similar level as some developed countries, Yi Gang, governor of the People's Bank of China (PBOC), told a press conference on the sidelines of the annual legislative session.
我們銀行的總準備金率也就是12%左右，實際上跟發(fā)達國家的總的準備金率差不多。
Since the beginning of 2018, China has lowered the reserve requirement ratio by a total of 3.5 percentage points in five cuts, he said.
去年以來，人民銀行五次降低存款準備金率一共3.5個百分點。
China will reform and refine monetary and credit supply mechanisms, and employ a combination of quantitative and pricing approaches, like required reserve ratios and interest rates, to guide financial institutions in increasing credit supply and bringing down the cost of borrowing, according to a government work report delivered on Tuesday.
關于存款準備金率的問題，李克強總理要求適時運用存款準備金率、利率等數量和價格手段，引導金融機構擴大信貸投放，降低貸款成本。
