China stocks fall as COVID concerns eclipse GDP expansion, reserve ratio cut

SHANGHAI :China stocks fell on Monday, with investors disappointed about a smaller-than-expected cut in the reserve requirement ratio that many felt might not be enough to reverse a sharp economic slowdown.

The People's Bank of China said on Friday it would cut the reserve requirement for all banks by 25 basis points , releasing about 530 billion yuan in long-term liquidity to cushion a slowdown. China's gross domestic product beat analysts' expectations with a 4.8per cent increase in the first quarter from a year earlier, while data on March activity showed weakness in consumption, property and exports affected by COVID-19 curbs.

Real estate developers tumbled 4.4per cent, while banks and brokerage firms both dropped nearly 3per cent.
