Beijing, March 20 (Xinhua) — Chinese authorities have unveiled a set of measures to promote employment for university graduates and other youth groups. The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security announced this on Friday.

According to a circular jointly issued by the aforementioned agencies, a program to promote employment in non-state-owned enterprises should be implemented, with a particular focus on sectors such as advanced manufacturing and modern services, unlocking the potential of leading companies in these sectors, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises specializing in innovative and high-tech products. Furthermore, labor and employment specialists should conduct site visits to expand job openings and create more suitable positions for university graduates and other young people.

The circular notes that policy measures such as social security subsidies and tax and fee reductions should be used more effectively to encourage businesses to hire more university graduates.

The document emphasizes the need to intensify vocational training and implement a plan to attract trainees, and also calls for the development of training programs in new areas related to the formation of new productive forces, such as artificial intelligence (AI), alternative energy vehicles, and the low-altitude economy.

According to the circular, support will be strengthened for key population groups, including households receiving the minimum guaranteed benefit, families of the unemployed, families at risk of falling back into poverty, and graduates with disabilities who will be unemployed in 2026.

Moscow, March 20 /Xinhua/ — The Bank of Russia's Board of Directors on Friday lowered its key rate for the second time in a row since the beginning of the year by 50 basis points, to 15 percent per annum.

"The economy is approaching a balanced growth trajectory. In February, price growth slowed, as expected, after a temporary acceleration in January. According to the Bank of Russia, sustainable price growth rates remain in the range of 4-5 percent on an annualized basis. At the same time, uncertainty regarding external conditions has increased significantly," the Central Bank of Russia's press release explains.

"The Bank of Russia will assess the advisability of further key rate reductions at its upcoming meetings, depending on the sustainability of the inflation slowdown, the dynamics of inflation expectations, and the assessment of risks from external and internal conditions," the regulator stated.

According to the Bank of Russia's forecast, given the current monetary policy, annual inflation will decline to 4.5-5.5 percent in 2026.

"Sustainable inflation will reach around 4 percent in the second half of 2026. In 2027 and beyond, annual inflation will remain on target," the Central Bank of the Russian Federation predicts.
