In May 2026, China's total quasi-money reached 2,382,332.9 billion RMB, a slight decrease of approximately 5,464.6 billion RMB from the previous month. Against the backdrop of broad money (M2) maintaining a year-on-year growth of 8.6%, the single-month decline in quasi-money reflects the "deposit migration" effect, where funds are shifting from time deposits to wealth management products in a low-interest-rate environment. Moving forward, close attention should be paid to whether fiscal expansion and the PBOC's structural tools can effectively clear the monetary transmission mechanism and boost credit demand in the real economy.
