REUTERS FORECASTS:
(M2, loan growth=pct change y/y; new loans=bln yuan)
MEDIAN RANGE Jul/10 Aug/09 POLL
SIZE
M2 17.5 16.9/18.6 17.6 28.5 26
New loans 500 440/550 533 410 26
Loan growth 18.4 18.0/19.0 18.4 34.1 17
* FACTORS TO WATCH:
China’s money and credit growth probably remained broadly
steady in August, reflecting Beijing’s success in containing
loans to developers and local governments’ financing vehicles
earlier this year.
If Beijing sticks to its full-year new lending target of
7.5 trillion yuan, banks should extend an average of 460
billion yuan in local-currency loans every month from August to
December.
* MARKET IMPACT:
The moderation in credit and money growth in recent months
has been well flagged in policy announcements since the start
of the year and priced in by the market.
Any upside surprise in lending might cast doubt on whether
Beijing can order banks to swiftly bring off-balance-sheet
loans back onto their books without breaching the 2010 loan
ceiling.
A strong figure may also arouse suspicions that China is
quietly allowing banks to resume lending more freely to local
governments’ financing vehicles as part of efforts to avoid an
abrupt slowdown in economic growth.
