The People's Bank of China is expanding a relending facility that supports stock buybacks. The earlier policy step cut the relending rate for buybacks to 1%. Subsidized funding for buybacks can support corporate demand for Chinese equities and signal policy backing for asset prices. That can influence risk appetite for China-exposed assets, including US-listed China ETFs and multinationals with Chinese revenue. Watch for official terms on facility size, eligible borrowers, funding costs and whether the program is expanded beyond the initial 1% relending rate.
