Didi’s Apps Reappear on Mobile Stores in Comeback’s First Step
(Bloomberg) -- Didi Global Inc.’s main apps have returned to the country’s biggest mobile stores, allowing the ride-hailing giant to resume growth after more than a year spent in regulatory limbo.
Most Read from Bloomberg
Its main ride-hailing app reappeared for download on the Chinese iOS store as well as platforms run by Huawei Technologies Co. and Xiaomi Corp., according to searches run on Friday.
The long-anticipated move suggests the worst is over for a ride-hailing giant that symbolized Beijing’s bruising campaign to rein in its powerful internet industry. It’s one of the clearest signs that Xi Jinping’s administration, keen to jumpstart an economy that’s sagged under years of Covid Zero restrictions, sees a need for the private sector’s support in that broader campaign.
Didi, once feted as the national champion that drove Uber Technologies Inc. out of China, was among the highest-profile companies at the heart of a clampdown on the internet industry that Beijing initiated in 2020, when it abruptly halted Ant Group Co.’s IPO. Regulators cracked down on Didi’s business in 2021 after the company pushed ahead with a $4 billion-plus US initial public offering against Beijing’s wishes.
Relaunching the apps is a prerequisite for Didi to resume business as usual, and to eventually work toward listing its stock in Hong Kong. It also suggests the government is serious about easing up on giants from Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. to Tencent Holdings Ltd., including by approving the most significant crop of blockbuster titles since clamping down on gaming addiction. Didi would have to ensure compliance with Hong Kong exchange requirements, including on driver or car licensing.

Explainer-How the BOJ's new yield-controlling tool works
The Bank of Japan this week crafted a new weapon to defend its yield cap and extend the lifespan of its yield control policy, without having to ramp up bond buying and dry up already thinning market liquidity. Specifically, the BOJ amended rules for an existing market operation tool, so it can pump funds extending up to 10 years in variable rates to financial institutions against collateral. While the new tool could keep bond bears at bay, there is uncertainty on how effective it would be in keeping long-term interest rates from rising.

For Chinese Lunar New Year tourists, retailers roll out rabbit dances, red lanterns
As Chinese shoppers trickle back to tourist hotspots for Lunar New Year holidays, malls from Macau to Bangkok aim to lure them into stores with red lantern displays, special dances to mark the Year of the Rabbit - and discounts. That's because Chinese customers have been a much-missed mainstay of the world's retail and travel industry: Their spending on travel had grown to $255 billion in 2019, before the pandemic, and accounted for 33% of spending in the global luxury personal goods market, according to estimates from Bain. "We're definitely seeing an uptick in traffic across both the gaming and retail side of the business," said a Macau casino executive, who was not able to be named due to company policy.
