Bonds to counteract virus fallout

China Daily  

A cashier at a bank in Taiyuan, Shanxi province counts renminbi notes. Details of one-time issuance expected to be released at National People's Congress meeting China is expected to release details of a special issuance of central government bonds during the upcoming annual session of the country's top legislature. It will be China's first offering of special treasuries since the global financial crisis, a one-off measure in the large fiscal stimulus package to counteract the economic fallout caused by the spread of the virus. "The monetization of fiscal deficit will ease the government's tight financing conditions and improve the efficiency of monetary policy," he said. Ma Jun, a member of the PBOC's monetary policy committee, disagreed with Liu's idea, calling it "direct printing of money" where fiscal bills never need to be paid.
