[Central Financial and Economic Affairs Commission: Moderately Loose Monetary Policy Will Continue Next Year] A relevant official from the Central Financial and Economic Affairs Commission explained the spirit of the 2025 Central Economic Work Conference. The official stated that a moderately loose monetary policy will continue to be implemented next year. First, promoting stable economic growth and a reasonable recovery in prices will be a key consideration in monetary policy, a new approach introduced at this year's conference. Monetary policy will strengthen forward-looking and scientific adjustments, maintain ample liquidity, keep social financing conditions relatively loose, promote low overall social financing costs, and work in synergy with other policy measures to strive to achieve goals such as economic growth and price recovery. Second, a variety of monetary policy tools will be used flexibly and efficiently. The monetary policy toolbox includes reserve requirement ratio cuts, interest rate cuts, and other short-, medium-, and long-term liquidity injection tools. Next year, various tools will be used flexibly and efficiently to ensure that the growth of social financing and money supply matches the expected targets for economic growth and the overall price level. Third, support will be strengthened for key areas such as expanding domestic demand, technological innovation, and small and medium-sized enterprises. Structural monetary policy tools will continue to be used effectively, efforts will be made to smooth the monetary policy transmission mechanism, and the quality and efficiency of financial services to the real economy will be continuously improved. At the same time, it is necessary to continue to balance internal and external relations and maintain the basic stability of the RMB exchange rate at a reasonable and balanced level. (Xinhua)
