Jan. 12 (Bloomberg) -- The People’s Bank of China raised reserve requirments for the nation’s lenders by 50 basis points effective Jan. 18, according to a statement posted today to the Web site of China’s central bank.
Well, as FED does not raise interest rate, China can not raise interest rate either, the options to cool down asset bubble are very limited..... raise the downpayment ratio or raise the bank reserve ratio...
Any way to find the ratio of long term and short term loans of Chinese commercial banks?
