China Construction Bank denies halt in new lending

Says it's operating smoothly.

China Construction Bank Corporation, China’s second largest bank and part of the Big Four, said it has not stopped issuing new loans amid a tightening of credit in China that has sparked reports some banks are refusing to lend.

CCB President Zhang Jianguo said the short-term panic of the credit crunch has eased.

"CCB is operating smoothly. We are still capable of giving funds to other banks via interbank (loans)," he said. "We are not stopping giving out any new loans."

Interest rates remain high and liquidity is tighter than normal despite government intervention, but the panic of a possible credit crunch that gripped the market last week has subsided, traders claim.

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.
