China will maintain a prudent monetary policy, according to a regular quarterly meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee of the People's Bank of China, the central bank.

 

The meeting stated that, to make monetary policy more effective, policies concerning local and foreign currencies should be better coordinated and liquidity management in the banking regime intensified.

 

In its think tank role, the monetary policy committee holds regular quarterly meetings to analyze economic and financial performance and put forward proposals on monetary policy.

 

The first quarter meeting said the central bank had utilized various monetary policy instruments to improve regulation of liquidity, push forward the market-oriented reform of interest rates and increase the flexibility of the Renminbi exchange rate against foreign currencies.

 

It recommended expanding domestic demand, optimizing investment structures and loan mixes and instituting proper controls on fixed-assets investment and credit extensions. More attention should be paid to the quality and efficiency of economic growth and competition among financial institutions should be increased.

 

The meeting considered China's financial operations to be stable at the present time.
