(Xinhua/Cai Yang) BEIJING, May 28 (Xinhua) -- Short-term fluctuation of the Chinese yuan's exchange rate is normal, but in the long run, China's sound economic fundamentals determine that the yuan will not see continuous depreciation, a central bank official said. "Speculation by shorting the yuan will surely lead to a huge loss," Guo Shuqing, Party chief of the People's Bank of China and chairman of the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, said in an interview with Xinhua. China remains the largest engine of world economic growth, and owns a large market and huge growth potential, Guo said. "As the quality of economic development improves, the yuan's exchange rate will continue to move closer to the purchasing power parity." The Chinese government has won extensive international recognition for its efforts over the past few years to strike a balance between the yuan rate's flexibility and stability, Guo said. Over the past more than 10 years, all cases of the relatively substantial devaluation of the yuan have stemmed basically from external reasons, he said. The latest case came in May, when the offshore rate of the yuan against the U.S. dollar depreciated up to about 3 percent, "entirely due to the U.S. moves that escalated economic and trade frictions, which in turn affected market sentiment," Guo said. "Despite the recent fluctuation in the forex market, there has been no panic among Chinese companies and people," Guo said. Besides the forex market, China's stock and bond markets have also "remained relatively stable" so far this year, Guo said. The country's financial sector has been stable and the risks have been held within control over the past years, partly due to moves to deepen reform and open wider to the outside world, improve corporate governance, and forestall and defuse financial risks in key areas, he added. Besides the opening-up of banking and insurance sectors, China will also open the securities and fund sectors following its existing schedule, Guo said. He added that the financial market's opening-up should always stay in line with the country's risk control capability, and special attention should be paid to prevent large-scale inflows and outflows of short-term cross-border capital. China welcomes foreign institutions with good market reputation and credit records, which have expertise in areas such as risk control, credit rating, wealth management and pension insurance, to "enter China, enrich market entities, innovate financial products and stimulate market vitality," Guo said.

[서울=뉴시스]이재준 기자 = 중국인민은행 판궁성(潘功勝) 행장은 24일 조만간 은행 예금지급 준비율을 0.5% 포인트 내리겠다고 발표했다.

증권시보 등에 따르면 판궁성 인민은행장은 이날 베이징에서 국무원 신문판공실이 주관한 금융지원 관련 기자회견에 참석해 이같이 밝혔다.

판궁성 행장은 지준율을 0.5% 포인트 인하하면서 금융시장에 장기적으로 1조 위안(약 189조600억원)의 유동성이 유입한다고 설명했다.

또한 판궁성 행장은 연내 유동성 상황을 살피면서 시기를 택해 지준율을 추가로 낮출 수 있다고 전했다.

아울러 판궁성 행장은 침체 상태의 부동산 시장을 지원하는 차원에서 주택담보 대출 금리를 내릴 방침이라고 덧붙였다.

앞서 전날 인민은행은 역레포(역환매조건부 채권) 거래를 통한 공개시장 조작을 실시하면서 14일물 금리를 1.85%로 종전보다 0.10% 포인트 인하했다.

매체는 판궁성 인민은행장, 리윈쩌(李雲澤) 국가금융감독관리 총국장, 우칭(呉清) 증권감독관리위원회(증감회) 주석이 금융지원에 관한 공동 기자회견을 24일 갖는다고 전했다.

경기불안이 이어지는 가운데 중국은 올해 경제성장 목표 '5% 안팎'을 달성하기 위해 새로운 경기지원책을 내놓는다는 매체는 관측한 바 있다.
