Market analysts were surprised when the news of jump in China’s lending was brought in the lime light. Today, the People’s Bank of China announced that the local-currency lending is standing at 586.8 billion yuan.
Since June, the jump in its lending has been highest in the month of October. The officials of China are gearing towards maintaining the tempo unless and until the dithering economy of the world become stable and Europe gets rid off its debt crisis.
Qu Hongbin, an economist of Hong Kong noted, “This is a meaningful pickup in new loans which suggests selective easing has already started. This should help stabilize growth with small and medium-sized enterprises and increase credit support for ongoing infrastructure projects. China has no risk of a hard landing”.
It has been reported that after being hit by the Europe debt crisis, the economy of China has began to perform well. As a result of its improving economy, the country’s exports are also gaining a momentum gradually.
Looking at the surge in the number of loan applicants, it is believed that in the coming future, the demand for the loans would reach a target of 650 billion yuan. This time preference will be given to the small companies while issuing loan, as they were hit hard by the economic downturn.
Where the lending of the China’s banks has improved, the saving rates have plunged continuously in the last 21 months. However, the consumer price has significantly surged by 5.5%. It has been reported by the bankers that this year, they had difficulties in encouraging deposits.
It has come to light that the growing inflation has caused stir in the economic plans of the government. As the saving rates are quite low, the ability of the central bank to impose cuts in the interest rate has also been affected.
