Chinese bank lending hits US$99.6 billion in February

Total lending for the month stood at US$172 billion.

The People’s Bank of China, the central bank, said the total for February was 137% lower than the record US$408 billion set in January. It also said M2 money supply rose 15.2% from a year earlier.

China’s bank loans as a share of funding in the economy fell to a record low last year, said PBOC, and emphasized the growth of alternative financing channels that have prompted warnings of rising credit risks.

New renminbi bank lending was US$1.3 trillion in 2012, accounting for 52% of the US$2.5 trillion in total financing, the smallest since 2002 when loans had a 91.9% share.

The China Securities Journal said that new lending is expected at more than US$1.4 trillion this year.

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.
