Why headline TSF is 'of little meaning' to calculate China's credit growth

It's a 'second derivative' of credit.

According to Bank of America Merrill Lynch, while others may simply calculate credit growth in China based on a year-on-year change in headline TSF, this calculation is of little meaning as the headline TSF is a net increase of system-wide credit and a year-on-year change of headline TSF is more like the rate of change of credit (or “second derivative” of credit).

"We believe the proper method is to calculate year-on-year growth of outstanding TSF which was around 21.5% in 1Q13, or about 12ppt above current nominal GDP growth rate."

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
