The central bank held the regular monetary policy meeting for the fourth quarter of 2021
On December 24, 2021, the central bank held a regular monetary policy meeting for the fourth quarter. In the draft after the meeting, it pointed out that we should keep the word steady, strive for progress while maintaining stability, strengthen cross cyclical regulation, combine with counter cyclical regulation, make overall arrangements for the connection of macro policies this year and next, and support high-quality economic development.
1. The total amount of monetary policy is relatively loose. Judging from the judgment of the economy, it changed from "unstable and unbalanced" in the third quarter to "triple pressure of demand contraction, supply shock and weakening expectation" in the fourth quarter, which continued the formulation of the economic work conference. On the basis of "cross cycle regulation" in the third quarter, it added "combination with counter cycle regulation", and emphasized "stability and progress in stability", Monetary policy will meet the needs of steady economic growth and be slightly loose on the whole.
2. Structural policies continue to work. On the formulation of monetary policy, add "enhancing foresight, accuracy and autonomy". Forward looking monetary easing should precede the economic downturn, accuracy corresponds to structural monetary policy support, and autonomy will not tighten China's monetary policy due to the tightening of the Federal Reserve. At the same time, the new "give full play to the dual functions of the total amount and structure of monetary policy tools, and actively add structural monetary policy tools", as a structural monetary policy directly to the real economy, will still play an important role in the follow-up.
3. The margin of real estate financing has improved. The setting of real estate should be consistent with the economic work conference, meet the reasonable housing demand, and promote the healthy development and virtuous cycle of the real estate market.
4. The macro leverage ratio will not be an obvious constraint next year. "Keeping the growth rate of money supply and social financing scale basically match the economic growth rate" and "maintaining the basic stability of macro leverage ratio" continued the formulation in the third quarter, which was deleted in the economic work conference. We believe that the stability of macro leverage ratio is the content of the central bank's long-term monetary policy framework, which may exist for a long time, and the economic work conference mainly focuses on the economic work next year. In terms of stabilizing the economy and preventing risk balance next year, stabilizing the economy is relatively more important.
On the whole, the central bank has continued the tone of stability and looseness after the economic work conference. Next year, the policy force should be advanced, the total amount and structural policies may cooperate with each other, and there may be the possibility of reducing reserve requirements and interest rates in the first half of the year.
