CHINA'S lending waned in May with money supply growing at the slowest pace since 2008, indicating the world's second largest economy is cooling.
Banks extended 551.6 billion yuan (US$84.9 billion) of loans in May, a big fall of 100.5 billion yuan from a year ago, said the People's Bank of China on its website today. It was less than the 650 billion yuan median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey of 20 economists.
M2, the broadest measure of money supply, increased 15.1 percent in May from a year ago but was 0.2 percentage points down from April.
Economists said the monetary data showed new signs that China's economy is heading for a soft landing.
