PBOC Deputy Governor Zhu Hexin Meets Peterson Institute Delegation

The presence of a SAFE chief alongside a PBOC deputy, plus a visiting group spanning European and Asian central-bank experience, points to a conversation weighted toward cross-border capital and currency matters rather than routine diplomacy. Read alongside the broad framing of the "international economic and financial situation," it suggests Beijing is keeping open channels with mainstream global economists as external financial conditions stay unsettled. Whether such engagement translates into more transparency on currency and capital-flow policy is the open question.
