China has cut the so-called reserve requirement ratio 14 times since 2018, which brought the RRR level from around 15% to 8%, but the RRR cut is still an “effective” way to support the economy ...

China's central bank issued rules on Friday on calculating banks' reserve requirement ratios (RRR) to make the regime more flexible for banks to better manage liquidity.

A Chinese central bank official raised the possibility of further relaxing the amount of reserves banks are required to hold but signaled that no aggressive monetary easing is in the pipeline.

The People's Bank of China (PBOC) said it would cut the reserve requirement ratio (RRR) for banks by 25 basis points (bps), effective from Dec. 5. That follows a 25-bp cut for all banks in April.

The Philippine central bank is reducing lenders’ reserve requirement ratio at the end of the month, Governor Felipe Medalla said, as he signaled the policy rate will remain unchanged.

He highlighted “reserve requirements” as one option, suggesting policymakers have considered trims to that ratio as a way to boost lending capacity and bolster credit.

China’s central bank may cut the reserve-requirement ratio for major banks as soon as this month in an effort to boost lending and revive momentum for the economic recovery.
