The People’s Bank of China convened a televised meeting on its 2026 survey and statistics work, reviewing 2025 delivery and setting priorities for the year ahead. The agenda focuses on strengthening the integrated financial statistics framework and standards, completing reporting on the financial “Five major articles” and local government financing vehicle (LGFV) debt, and tightening data-quality controls to support macroeconomic management and risk prevention. In its 2025 review, the central bank highlighted the rollout of a “1+N” statistical system for the financial “Five major articles”, stronger data-quality governance backed by enforcement inspections, and expanded use of the national financial basic database as a hub for deepening cross-sector financial statistics. Priorities for 2026 include continuing monetary and financial aggregate statistics and structural thematic statistics, extracting more analytical value from the database through deeper research into structural trends, and maintaining strict, ongoing controls to uphold the rigour and standardisation of financial statistics.
