The Bank of Canada cut interest rates sharply for the second time in a row this month, and hinted that policymakers are prepared to slow down the pace of monetary easing. The bank cut interest rates by 50 basis points to 3.25%, bringing borrowing costs to the upper part of their expected range of neutral interest rates. However, they also hinted that after the sharp interest rate cut expected by the market and most economists, there may be a smaller interest rate cut again in 2025. Officials dropped their previous statement that they expected to further reduce borrowing costs. "With the policy interest rate greatly reduced, we expect that if the economic development is generally in line with expectations, monetary policy will adopt a more gradual approach," Bank of Canada Governor Mackler said in a prepared speech. "Looking ahead, we will evaluate the necessity of further reducing the policy interest rate one by one."The Ministry of Ecology and Environment intends to further clarify the standards and conditions for enterprises to declare special funds for the disposal of waste electrical and electronic products.

The number of processing enterprises located in the western region is 900,000 units (sets), and the number of processing enterprises located in other regions is 1 million units (sets). The third is a smooth transition. As 2024 is a policy transition year, the processing quantity in 2024 is the main factor in the allocation of special funds in 2025. Considering the market affordability and the adjustment period of production and operation of enterprises, a transition period is set aside for the setting of the number requirements for special funds in 2025, and it is planned to set the number requirements to 500,000 units (sets) per year.
