China will cut the reserve requirement ratio (RRR) by 0.5 percentage points in the near future, providing about 1 trillion yuan (about $141.78 billion) in long-term liquidity to the financial market, Pan Gongsheng, governor of the People's Bank of China, said on September 24.

Depending on the liquidity situation in the market, RRR may be further lowered by 0.25 to 0.5 percentage points within the year, Pan told a press conference.
