🇨🇳💴 China's central bank unveils most aggressive stimulus since pandemic

China's central bank on Tuesday unveiled its biggest stimulus since the pandemic to pull the economy out of its deflationary funk and back towards the government's growth target, but analysts warned more fiscal help was vital to hit these goals.

The broader-than-expected package offering more funding and interest rate cuts marks the latest attempt by policymakers to restore confidence in the world's second-largest economy after a slew of disappointing data raised concerns of a prolonged structural slowdown.

🇨🇳💴 China’s big-bang stimulus boosts yuan

China’s yuan hit a 16-month high on Tuesday, after stimulus measures infused broader markets with enthusiasm and boosted the euro, while the Australian dollar touched a 2024 peak after the central bank reiterated its determination to tame inflation.

Beijing’s new measures - including a planned 50 basis point cut to banks’ reserve requirements and the signaling of potentially more easing in lending rates, as well as property market support measures - gave the yuan a lift.

Although the yuan initially weakened in offshore trading after the announcement of the rate cuts, it then climbed steadily to be up as much as 0.38% at 7.0310 per dollar as the focus shifted to the potential boost to growth.

China-sensitive assets like stocks, commodities and the euro rallied in tandem.

🇷🇺🇲🇱🇧🇫🇳🇪 Russia to sell satellites to West African military governments

Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso have announced a deal with Russia which will see them acquire telecoms and surveillance satellites.

The three West African countries, run by military juntas, have been struggling to defeat Islamist insurgencies for years and have turned to Russia for military support.

The technology will boost border surveillance and national security in all three countries, says Mali’s Finance Minister, Alousséni Sanou, adding that it would enable secure communications.

Sanou also said the satellites would help them to monitor and respond to floods, droughts, fires and other emergencies.

Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso last year formed the Alliance of Sahel States - it was originally to boost military co-operation, but has since broadened.

They have hailed the remote-sensing satellite project as crucial for their security strategy, just days after Islamist militants attacked an airport in Bamako - far from the areas where the jihadists normally launch their assaults.

Ministers say the telecoms satellite will facilitate the broadcast of television and radio signals across their three countries.

It is also expected to provide internet and telephone services in inaccessible and underdeveloped areas within the Sahel.

🇨🇳⚡️🚀 China's PLA conducts rare public test launch of intercontinental ballistic missile

China said on Wednesday that it successfully conducted a rare launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile into the Pacific Ocean, a move likely to raise international concerns about the country's nuclear build-up.

The ICBM, carrying a dummy warhead, was launched by the People's Liberation Army Rocket Force at 8:44 a.m. Beijing time (0044 GMT) on Wednesday and "fell into expected sea areas," the Chinese defence ministry said in a statement, adding that it was a "routine arrangement in our annual training plan" and not directed at any country or target.

China "informed the countries concerned in advance," according to a separate Xinhua report, which did not clarify the path of the missile or where in the "high seas of the Pacific Ocean" it fell.

The launch "effectively tested the performance of weapons and equipment and the training level of the troops, and achieved the expected goal," Xinhua reported.
