china's central banks cutting interest rates again. the biggest two-week stock plunging nearly two decades. chief asia economist is in beijing. what prompted policymakers to act as aggressively as they did? i think there are a couple of striking things about this move. firstly, it is a combined rate cut and targeted preserve requirement cut. the combination of those moves illustrates a depth of concerns from china's policymakers. the second thing, on motivation, is really that this comes against the act off of signs of stabilization in china's economy. in the second quarter, it has actually been rather positive, real estate sales, industrialized stabilize.
9:06 pm
what that suggests is the approximate cause for the action is that plunge in the equity 7.4% drop we saw on the shanghai composite index friday. there is a logic to that. there is a relationship between what happens in equity markets and what happens in the real economy. concerned that plunging equity markets would hammer consumer hammer ipo fundraising and potentially snuff out the recovery before it got started. but the risk is by signaling they are going to respond to market corrections, the pboc dose of moralr hazard into china's already dysfunctional equity markets. the risk is that equity avestors, anytime there is significant market correction, policymakers are going to be there with a rate cut or reserve requirement cut to rescue the markets. rishaad: thank you for that.
