High-quality development of inclusive finance necessitates different types of financial institutions identifying their specific characteristics and pursuing differentiated development. For example, policy banks should strengthen their leading role, focusing on underdeveloped regions with weak infrastructure and vulnerable sectors in agriculture, rural areas, and farmers, laying a solid foundation for subsequent industrial development and commercial credit injection through policy-based lending. Large commercial banks and local small and medium-sized banks need to each have their own focus, improving the efficiency and precision of financial resource allocation. "From January to May this year, we cumulatively issued nearly 900 billion yuan in policy-based loans."

AUD/JPY Exceeds 90.30 As RBA Considers Option To Raise Rates Prior To Pause

Following the release of the minutes from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), the AUD/JPY pair surged above the 90.30-point critical resistance level. According to the RBA minutes, policymakers actively considered the decision to raise rates further. However, the decision to maintain the status quo was made after the collection of additional data.

 

Citing the resilience of Australia's financial system, RBA policymakers believed that the Board's future cash rate decisions would depend on the global economy, household spending trends, inflation projections, and employment forecasts.

 

Continue to monitor China's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) statistics. Compared to its stagnant performance in the final quarter of CY2022, the Chinese economy is estimated to have grown by 2.2%. Compared to the previous annual growth rate of 2.9%, the current annual growth rate for the economy is 4.0%. Australia is China's greatest trading partner, and stronger Chinese GDP data would strengthen the Australian Dollar.

 

The announcement of the People's Bank of China (PBOC) interest rate decision later this week will be crucial. Last week, the People's Bank of China pledged to provide additional monetary support to spur retail demand. Despite the reopening of China's economy following a period of economic restraint, the country's inflation rate has been consistently declining over the past few months.

 

According to Jiji news and Reuters, the Bank of Japan is reportedly considering a projection for consumer price growth between 1.6% and 1.9% for the 2025 fiscal year, a move seen as preventing market participants from betting on the central bank's departure from stimulus. This has also delayed the possibility of a shift away from an expansionary monetary policy, which cannot be considered until the Japanese inflation rate persists above 2%.
