This paper studies the wealth channel in China. Using the structural vector autoregression method, we find that a loosening of China.s monetary policy indeed leads to higher asset prices, which in turn are linked to household consumption. However, the importance of the wealth channel as a part of the monetary policy transmission mechanism in China is still limited. Keywords: China, monetary policy, asset prices JEL classification: E52, P24
