Pan Gongsheng Appointed as China's New Central Bank Governor to Prioritize Safety

TL;DR
Pan Gongsheng, who previously oversaw China's $3 trillion in foreign currency reserves, has been named the governor of the People's Bank of China. This appointment comes at a critical time for China as its economic recovery falters, its banking system faces bad loans, and its currency weakens. Pan's previous experience in stabilizing the renminbi during a currency plunge in 2016 may prove valuable in his new role. However, his lack of political backing within the Communist Party may pose challenges.
