Pan provided insights into China's inflation trends, noting that the consumer price index (CPI), a primary indicator of inflation, is gradually stabilizing. He anticipates an upward trajectory in the CPI after a temporary decline in food prices.

Pan outlined the PBOC's commitment to maintaining an accommodative monetary policy to support the economy. Recognizing Hong Kong as a major international financial hub, he pledged to create a conducive environment for RMB business in Hong Kong. Additionally, Pan expressed support for Hong Kong's aspirations to strengthen its position as an international asset management and risk management center while aiming to become a leading fintech and green finance hub in the Asia-Pacific region.

In conclusion, Pan asserted that with Hong Kong's inherent strengths, favorable policy environment, and talented workforce, its status as an international financial center is poised for further enhancement, aligning with Knightsbridge's insights into China's economic trajectory.
