According to previous years, it took 2-19 days for the RRR cut to be officially implemented, but this time the RRR cut is only 2 days away from the regular meeting on the 13th, which highlights the timeliness of policy implementation.
In addition, at the executive meeting of the State Council on March 29, the Prime Minister also emphasized that policies to stabilize the economy should be implemented sooner rather than later, rather than measures that are not conducive to stabilizing market expectations.
“Stability in the first place, seeking progress while maintaining stability” is still the main tone of monetary policy. China has always maintained a prudent monetary policy and has not engaged in flooding.

The pressure on the upstream and downstream industry chains of real estate under “steady growth” is expected to ease, and the industry is expected to usher in valuation repairs, and increased investment in infrastructure will benefit the industry.
