The People's Bank of China, the country's central bank, said on Thursday it will use multiple monetary tools to step up support for the real economy and reduce corporate financing costs.

中国人民银行4月14日宣布，将运用多种货币政策工具来加大对实体经济的支持，降低企业的融资成本。

"The PBOC will use multiple monetary tools to improve the functioning of monetary policy on both the aggregate and structural fronts and beef up support for the real economy," said Ruan Jianhong, a spokeswoman for the central bank.

With policy assistance, the country's credit growth is expected to be steady and facilitate economic recovery, Ruan said, adding China's long-term economic fundamentals remain solid despite a resurgence of COVID-19 and a rise in external uncertainties.

Ruan made the remarks at a news conference on Thursday after the State Council, China's Cabinet, decided at an executive meeting on Wednesday to lower the reserve requirement ratio at an appropriate time.

央行新闻发言人阮健弘在4月14日的新闻发布会上表示，人民银行将适时灵活运用多种货币政策工具，更好发挥总量和结构双重功能，加大对实体经济的支持。

阮健弘表示，在政策的支持下，预计未来信贷投放继续保持稳定增长的态势，支持经济复苏。

她还指出，当前国内疫情发生频次有所增多，外部环境更趋复杂严峻和不确定，但我国经济长期向好的基本面不会改变。

4月13日召开的国务院常务会议决定，将适时降低存款准备金率。
