  China's central bank is expected to pay more attention to keeping inflation in check during the rest of the year while sustaining support for economic growth, experts said on Thursday.
  Given the necessity of maintaining price and financial stability, the possibility of cutting policy interest rates in the coming months has declined. Instead, the central bank may prioritize structural policy tools to nurture new growth drivers, they said.
  They commented after the People's Bank of China, the nation's central bank, said in a report on Wednesday that it will strike a balance between economic growth and price stability as the country's structural inflationary pressure might intensify amid elevated global inflation.
  "High inflation has become the most prominent challenge to global economic development," the central bank's second-quarter monetary policy report said.
  The central bank will keep a close eye on the inflation situation at home and abroad, avoid excessive printing of money, and consolidate the basis of increasing food production and the steady operation of the energy market, the report said.
  The US Department of Labor said on Wednesday that the growth of the consumer price index in the United States, a main gauge of inflation, remained elevated at 8.5 percent year-on-year in July, albeit down from 9.1 percent in June thanks to falling energy prices.
  By contrast, China's CPI growth remained mild at 2.7 percent year-on-year in July, but up from 2.5 percent in June due to rising pork prices.
  The central bank report said that China's price levels will continue to run within a reasonable range, but cautioned about potential CPI rises due to factors including recovering domestic consumer demand and high costs of imported energy.
  Wen Bin, chief economist at China Minsheng Bank, said the space for additional monetary stimulus has been reduced, as maintaining price stability has become the central bank's top priority while policymakers have de-emphasized this year's economic growth target but attached more importa,中央军委基层建设会议,健全党领导军队的制度体系,全面加强军队党的领导和党的建设工作,确保党的领导全面落实,夯实了人民军队听党指挥,维护核心的思想政治基础.
