China: New Lending, Money Supply Soars in January
Aggregated Source: China Stocks News and Analysis from Seeking AlphaAfter declining strongly in November and December, to I think around RMB 60-70 billion a month, new lending in January soared to RMB 804 billion. This is the highest monthly figure in years and more than twice the very high monthly average for 2007 (RMB 303 billion). It also blows out the monthly average for the first quarter of 2007 (RMB 474 billion), the former record period for new lending. To make a quick back-of-the-envelope comparison, even if February and March new lending plummets to the December level, the first quarter of 2008 will still see more new loans than the average quarter last year. I think we may see a new quarterly record set.
