Chinese officials on Thursday flagged more monetary policy easing "at an appropriate time" and left the door open to more stimulus measures on top of those announced at this week’s annual parliament meeting if economic growth veered off track. Finance Minister Lan Foan, central bank governor Pan Gongsheng, and other officials spoke to the media a day after Premier Li Qiang told lawmakers Beijing aimed to keep the tariff-hit economy growing at a roughly 5% rate this year.
