The People's Bank of China (PBOC) Party Committee held an expanded meeting to convey central-level guidance on launching a Party-wide education programme on the “Central Eight-point Regulations” on conduct, and approved an implementation plan for rolling out the programme across the PBOC system. The plan calls for structured study of key Party leadership statements on improving work style and of the Central Eight-point Regulations and their implementing rules, alongside a comprehensive review of past implementation. It also requires problem identification using channels such as discipline inspection and supervision, inspection tours and audit oversight, combined with follow-up on rectification linked to central inspections, including warning education and analysis of negative cases. Remediation is to be organised through issue lists and corrective measures, including immediate correction where problems are identified, and supported by “open-door” engagement to collect public feedback and accept public supervision; the work is to be integrated with core PBOC tasks including execution of monetary and credit policies, delivery of the financial “five major articles”, financial risk prevention and response, financial reform and opening-up, financial infrastructure, and optimisation of central bank management and services. Governance arrangements place overall responsibility on Party committees at each level, with primary leaders designated as first responsible persons and other leadership members expected to discharge “dual responsibilities”, alongside full-coverage, end-to-end guidance to subordinate Party branches. The meeting was chaired by PBOC Party Committee Secretary and Governor Pan Gongsheng and attended by representatives of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and National Supervisory Commission’s驻PBOC discipline inspection body, as well as senior officials from relevant PBOC departments.
