The governor of the People's Bank of China is the head of the People's Bank of China and one of the country's key economic decisionmakers.
The current governor is Pan Gongsheng, who concurrently serves as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) committee secretary of the PBC.
Officially, the governor is nominated by the premier of the State Council, who is then approved by the National People's Congress or its Standing Committee and appointed by the president. [1]
The governor post is not necessarily held concurrently with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) secretary of the PBC. The CCP committee secretary is the most powerful position in the bank and can hold more sway than the governor. [2] The current PBC governor Pan Gongsheng holds both posts. [3] The governor also chairs the PBC Monetary Policy Committee, an advisory body that typically includes the directors and deputy directors of other financial agencies, as well as a few influential academic economists.

The government of the People's Republic of China is based on a system of people's congress within the parameters of a unitary communist state, in which the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) enacts its policies through people's congresses. This system is based on the principle of unified state power, in which the legislature, the National People's Congress (NPC), is constitutionally enshrined as "the highest state organ of power." As China's political system has no separation of powers, there is only one branch of government which is represented by the legislature. The CCP through the NPC enacts unified leadership, which requires that all state organs, from the Supreme People's Court to the President of China, are elected by, answerable to, and have no separate powers than those granted to them by the NPC. By law, all elections at all levels must adhere to the leadership of the CCP. The CCP controls appointments in all state bodies through a two-thirds majority in the NPC. The remaining seats are held by nominally independent delegates and eight minor political parties, which are non-oppositional and support the CCP. All government bodies and state-owned enterprises have internal CCP committees that lead the decision-making in these institutions.
