Key Summary:

Initial market reaction is positive for Chinese equities
$113bn stimulus include financing for buybacks and repo
Medium-long term effect is still questionable

The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) announced a significant stimulus for its stock market by providing at least RMB 800 billion (equivalent to USD 113 billion) of liquidity support via a swap facility for institutional investors.

Why the rush? Prior to the announcement, the SSE (Shanghai Stock Exchange) Composite Index was down -6.8% this year (-26% since its peak in 2021) due to a substantial deterioration in China’s economic growth that is expected to miss its 2024 target of 5%.
