中国金融集团中信集团有限公司董事长朱鹤新是接替受过美国教育的经济学家易纲担任中国人民银行行长的主要候选人，尽管这一决定还没有最终确定，只有在3月初的中国年度立法会议上才会正式作出。
-
朱鹤新不太可能成为中国人民银行的党委书记，这是中央银行中最有权力的职位。习近平先生的长期助手何立峰可能会兼任中国人民银行的党委书记一职。这将为中国人民银行提供更有力的政治支持，但也会削弱其权威，因为它将不得不更直接地对国务院负责。
-
中央银行的官员已经被提醒，货币当局对党负责，这削弱了它对投资者和经济学家的作用。新的领导层将需要帮助经济从新冠限制和有史以来最严重的房地产衰退中恢复。

-
温家宝是副总理和党的精英政治局成员，他从委员会成立到解散一直领导着委员会，这被视为他为总理职位做准备的一个潜在迹象。目前具有政治地位、技术官僚技能和全球市场信誉的官员，如刘鹤、郭树清和易纲等，基本上已经从党的上层消失了。
-
中国人民银行和国务院新闻办公室没有对评论请求作出回应。此举是习近平先生调整领导层的一部分。

Chinese leader Xi Jinping is preparing to shake up the country’s financial system by installing key associates to run the central bank and reviving a Communist Party body to tighten political control.
-
The moves are part of Xi’s efforts to reshape the world’s second-largest economy and reduce the independent status of the central bank and other financial regulators.
-
Zhu Hexin, chairman of the Chinese financial conglomerate Citic Group Corp., is the leading candidate to succeed U.S.-educated economist Yi Gang as governor of the People’s Bank of China, though the decision isn’t final and will only be made formal at China’s annual legislative session in early March.
-
Mr. Zhu is unlikely to become the Communist Party Secretary of the People’s Bank of China, the most powerful post in the central bank. He Lifeng, a longtime associate of Mr. Xi, is likely to take a concurrent post as the PBOC’s party chief. This will give stronger political backing to the PBOC, but also erode its authority as it will have to answer more directly to the State Council.
-
Officials at the central bank have been reminded that the monetary authority answers to the Party, diminishing its usefulness to investors and economists. The new leadership will need to help the economy recover from the Covid restrictions and the worst property downturn on record.
-
The changing of the guard at the central bank is part of a broader reshuffling following Mr. Xi’s third term as general secretary. He has since shaped an economic team that mostly consists of his allies.
-
China’s Communist Party is planning to resurrect its Central Financial Work Commission, a policy setting body that existed between 1998 and 2003. Chief of staff Ding Xuexiang and Li Qiang, China’s new No. 2 leader, are potential candidates to oversee the commission’s operations. The commission is intended to consolidate financial regulatory matters under one authority.
-
Wen Jiabao, a vice premier and member of the party’s elite Politburo, led the commission from its inception until its dissolution, seen as a potential sign of his grooming for the premiership. Current officials with political standing, technocratic skills, and credibility in the global markets have largely disappeared from the upper echelons of the party, such as Liu He, Guo Shuqing, and Yi Gang.
-
The People’s Bank of China and the State Council Information Office have not responded to requests for comment. This move is part of Mr. Xi’s reshuffling of his leadership ranks.
-
Mr. Liu is expected to facilitate track-two dialogue between China and the U.S. through backchannel messages.
-
Mr. Liu was dispatched to the World Economic Forum in January to make the announcement that China was reopening for business after Covid isolation.
-
Mr. Zhu is lesser known outside of China and lacks the international stature of other senior central bank officials.
-
Mr. Zhu graduated from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics and worked at Bank of Communications Co. and Bank of China Ltd. until 2018.
-
From 2018 to 2020, Mr. Zhu served as a PBOC deputy governor overseeing financial stability.
-
Mr. Zhu has served as Chairman of Citic Group since 2020.
-
Citic Group has interests spanning banking, securities brokerage, private equity and insurance, and has played a significant role in rescuing China Huarong Asset Management Co.
-
Previous PBOC chiefs have held concurrent positions in the past, but He’s appointment marks the first time since the 1990s that a vice premier has held a formal post at the central bank.
-
Zhou Xiaochuan held a ceremonial vice chair role in the top government advisory body from 2013-2018.
-
Yi Huiman and Yin Yong were once considered strong candidates for the governor role.
-
The incumbent governor, Mr. Yi, does not have any additional roles outside the central bank.
-
Mr. Guo, the PBOC’s current party secretary, has significant influence over the bank’s internal decision-making processes, effectively superseding Mr. Yi’s authority.
-
The party’s elite Central Committee will convene a plenary session from Feb. 26-28 to discuss changes to party and state organizations.
-
This meeting, known as the second plenum, is traditionally used to discuss personnel appointments and other political issues before a new government bench is finalized for a five-year term.
