The People's Bank of China (PBOC) and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) have raised the macro-prudential adjustment parameter for cross-border financing from 1.5 to 1.75, effective January 13, 2025. This adjustment aims to enhance liquidity for the yuan and mitigate unilateral depreciation pressures. The decision reflects China's ongoing efforts to stabilize its currency amid a strong U.S. dollar and other economic challenges. PBOC officials, including Deputy Governor Xuan Changneng, have emphasized the need for a moderately loose monetary policy to support economic recovery and manage liquidity. The central bank also reiterated its commitment to maintaining the stability of the foreign exchange market.
