SHANGHAI/BEIJING - China’s central bank should consider lowering its benchmark deposit rate to enable banks to reduce lending rates and help small businesses weather the economic fallout from the fast-spreading coronavirus, a central bank advisor said.
“We should establish a loss-sharing mechanism for stakeholders to prevent excessive concentration of losses in small and medium-sized enterprises that could lead to serious unemployment and social instability,” Ma said.
