China Central Bank says sharply reduces local debts and financial risks

The Central Bank of China reports that the financial risks of the country, particularly the problems related to local government debts, have greatly declined. Governor Pan Gongsheng of China's central bank, the People's Bank of China, talked to state media in a series of recent interviews and said that the financial sector situation has improved and the soaring debt has become a thing of the past.

Pan added that the central bank would continue cooperating with the Ministry of Finance to ensure that annual growth targets were met. He promised the bank would support monetary policy again this year to show its determination to stabilize the economy and maintain growth.

Beijing has been trying to rein in high debt levels, especially in the real estate market, which is strongly tied up with the budgets of local governments. This is also in line with global demands for the Asian giant to forestall its rising debt burden. Pan emphasized the fact that "the financial system is sound" in China, and there is "a considerable decline in the overall risk level," representing a substantial state of improvement in financial stability.

He pointed out that the number of local government finance platforms has been cut; the magnitude of their debts has dropped; and their debts have reached a historically low cost. These are favorable signs for financial risk administration and mitigation, restoring proper and great confidence in China's economic policies and its future.

The dovish stance and these targeted measures on debt management are part of the broader strategy by PBoC and other policymakers in China to find the best balance between growth and financial stability. While such factors are in play, they are likely to foster a more stable and sustainable environment in the country.
