China can consider increasing its budget deficits, ex-finance minister says.

Some local governments have distributed consumption vouchers to encourage consumption.
But those actions remain insufficient.
China will have difficulty achieving its official 2022 economic growth target of about 5.5 percent.
If more deficit spending is required to fund assistance for small firms, China can consider it, according to a former finance minister on Saturday.
Lou Jiwei said at the Caixin Summer Summit in Beijing that while some local governments have distributed consumption vouchers to encourage consumption, those actions remain insufficient because of a sharp reduction in fiscal revenue at all levels.

Although China has recently released a variety of economic support measures, analysts claim that the country will have difficulty achieving its official 2022 economic growth target of about 5.5 percent.
The second-largest economy in the world has received a lot of support this year from fiscal stimulus intended to offset the effects of COVID-19.
In order to meet the 3.65 trillion yuan special bond quota for 2022, the cabinet has instructed local governments to issue 3.45 trillion yuan ($515 billion) in special bonds for infrastructure by the end of June.
In the fourth quarter of this year, China will issue part of the bonds it plans to issue in 2023 ahead of schedule, with the new quota probably exceeding 1.46 trillion yuan for 2022.
Lou, who is currently a member of a leading political advisory group, claimed that there is still some room for the central government to distribute monies.
We can raise the central and local budget deficits as needed, he continued.

PTI chief Imran Khan, who is facing terrorism charges following his controversial remarks about a female judge, reached an anti-terrorism court in Islamabad today to get pre-arrest bail, according to DawnNewsTV . Security was tightened around the Federal Judicial Complex, where the hearing will be held, with police and Frontier Corps personnel deployed at the site, the Dawn.com correspondent in the capital said. Roads in the complex’s surroundings have also been blocked. The PTI, meanwhile, called on supporters to “come out on the streets and then head to Islamabad the next day” if Imran is taken into custody. “Clear directions from the party given!” It also added a hashtag in Urdu, which says “Imran Khan is our red line”. Prior to Imran’s arrival, a plea for his pre-arrest bail was filed in the court of Judge Raja Jawad Abbas Hassan, who will hear the case today. It was contended in the plea that police had registered the terrorism case against Imran as an “act of revenge”....
The US dollar was seen losing ground against the rupee in interbank trading on Wednesday morning as it fell by 50 paisa, with analysts linking the development to optimism surrounding the expected release of loan tranches by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). According to the Forex Association of Pakistan (FAP), the greenback depreciated Rs1.45 against the previous day's close of Rs206 to reach Rs204.55 around 1:20pm.

By closing time on Wednesday, the greenback was being traded at Rs205.50 in the interbank. Exchange Companies Association of Pakistan General Secretary Zafar Paracha attributed the international currency's fall to the possibility of the IMF releasing two combined tranches of around $1.85 billion instead of the initially expected single tranche of around $1bn. On Tuesday, Pakistan received the Memorandum of Eco...
