The People's Bank of China and the National Archives Administration of China have issued archive management rules for the People's Bank of China system, creating a formal framework for archive governance, supervision and resource management across the central bank's institutions. The framework is intended to strengthen standardized archive management and support the central bank's duties. The rules define the archive management mechanism, supervisory and guidance relationships, and the ownership and flow of archive resources. Each unit must strengthen leadership and coordination of archive work, ensure resource support, implement centralized and unified archive management, clarify archive responsibilities, improve basic infrastructure, and protect archive security and integrity. The framework also calls for stronger collection, sorting and filing of key materials including major financial policy documents, greater archive digitization, and broader development and use of archive resources.
