China's central bank, the People's Bank of China (PBoC), has sought advice from European financial institutions regarding the challenges posed by low interest rates. This outreach comes amid concerns that further interest rate cuts may have limited impact on stimulating credit demand and consumption within China. The PBoC is exploring strategies as the country faces the risk of entering a prolonged period of low inflation. Concurrently, top officials from major European central banks are engaged in discussions about reducing regulatory burdens on commercial lenders within the European Union, reflecting broader concerns about financial sector dynamics in both regions.
