FAQ PBOC
The basic goals of the monetary policy of the China Bank (PBOC) are the protection of price stability, including the stability of the exchange rate, and promoting economic growth. The Chinese central bank is also aimed at implementing financial reforms, such as the opening and development of the financial market.
PBOC is the property of the state of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), so it is not considered an autonomous institution. Secretary of the Communist Committee of the China Party (CCP), nominated by the Chairman of the State Council, has a key impact on the management and direction of PBOC, not the governor. However, Mr. Gongsheng is currently organizing both posts.
Unlike Western economies, PBOC uses a wider set of monetary policy instruments to achieve its goals. The basic tools include a seven -day reverse repo (RRR), medium -term loan object (MLF), currency interventions and reserve requirements (RRR).

By changing LPR, the Chinese central bank can also affect Chinese Renminbi exchange courses.
