According to Zhu Guangyao, the world's financial environment remains intricate and complex, and there are six contradictions in the situation.

Many countries need to go a step further to lower their interest rates, and the monetary policy of the US Federal Reserve is closely observed by the major developed economies, and economies are paying close attention to see whether the Federal Reserve will give up the quantitative easing policy, said Zhu.

The harmful influence of shadow banking has gradually increased. The Financial Stability Board and G20 are discussing taking lessons from the world economic crisis, Zhu added.
