China is in "no rush" to add a monetary stimulus to cope with downward pressure on the world's number-two economy, the head of the country's central bank said Tuesday.

A lingering trade war with the United States and cooling growth has raised expectations that Beijing may resort to a round of stimulus measures to provide a kickstart.

Major central banks, including the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, have also cut borrowing rates or signalled the willingness to do so in recent months.

But People's Bank of China boss Yi Gang said told a news conference: "We are not in a rush to act as central banks of some other countries have done."
