The meeting studied the main ideas for the next phase of monetary policy, suggesting an increase in the intensity of monetary policy regulation, enhancing the foresight, targeting, and effectiveness of monetary policy regulation, and appropriately lowering the reserve requirement ratio and interest rates based on domestic and international economic and financial conditions and the operation of financial markets.

Strengthen the guidance of central bank policy interest rates, improve the transmission mechanism for market-oriented interest rate formation, leverage the self-discipline mechanism of market interest rate pricing, and enhance the implementation and supervision of interest rate policies. Promote a reduction in the comprehensive financing costs for society. Observe and assess the operation of the bond market from a macro-prudential perspective, paying attention to changes in long-term yields. Smooth the transmission mechanism of monetary policy, improve the efficiency of fund utilization, and prevent idle capital turnover. Enhance the resilience of the foreign exchange market, stabilize market expectations, strengthen market management, resolutely correct pro-cyclical behaviors in the market, decisively address actions that disrupt market order, firmly prevent risks of excessive exchange rate adjustments, and maintain basic stability of the RMB exchange rate at a reasonable and balanced level.
