The People’s Bank of China (PBoC) pledged to steady the yuan and step up support for the economy as doubts grow over a recovery, Bloomberg News reported.

The central bank will adopt “comprehensive measures and stabilize expectations” about the currency and “resolutely prevent risks of big fluctuations,” the PBOC said in its quarterly monetary policy report published late Friday.
The monetary authority also vowed to increase support for the economy as domestic demand is still “not strong.”
The currency slid to a seven-month low against the dollar on Friday, taking its declines this quarter to more than 5%. The currency is less than 1% away from a 15-year low seen in November when the continuation of the zero-COVID policy sent the nation’s financial markets spiraling.
