China's Central Bank and Departments Transform Stock Buyback Relending into Long-Term Policy

In a major institutional development aimed at bolstering capital markets, the People’s Bank of China and two other government departments have jointly announced that the relending facility designated for stock buybacks and share increases will be transformed into a long-term institutional arrangement. Concurrently, the interest rate for these relending loans has been reduced to 1 percent, sending a strong policy signal to stabilize market confidence.

Market regulators and financial authorities have stepped up policy support to ensure that existing and newly introduced monetary tools are fully utilized. Additionally, the central bank announced forthcoming swap facility operations for securities, funds, and insurance companies, with declared application quotas exceeding 100 billion yuan—substantially surpassing previous rounds of liquidity injection.

These coordinated financial measures reflect a decisive commitment by policymakers to support market stability and investor expectations at a critical juncture. While broader market indices experienced minor fluctuations during early trading sessions, the long-term structural reforms are anticipated to provide sustained liquidity and bolster the healthy development of the financial sector.
