PBOC says easy policy to remain


THE monetary policy committee of the People's Bank of China, the central bank, reaffirmed yesterday that China would maintain its moderately loose monetary policy and enhance financial support to back the sustainability of economic development.

The PBOC would maintain continuity and stability in monetary policy while constantly making it better targeted and more flexible as circumstances and conditions changed, the committee said in a statement after a quarterly meeting.

It vowed to maintain moderate credit growth, but said it was still a challenging task, according to the statement.

The government set a target of 7.5 trillion yuan (US$1.1 trillion) of new loans this year. In 2009, the country's banks extended a total of 9.6 trillion yuan in new loans.

The PBOC would increase financial support to promote transformation of the economic development pattern and adjustment of the economic structure, it said.

The PBOC would work to balance the relationship between maintaining stable and comparatively fast economic growth, adjusting economic structure and avoiding possible inflation.

Its monetary policy committee has 15 members, including senior PBOC governors, top officials and three academicians.
