China braces for tighter credit policy in 2013

“Controlling risks” is the top policy objective.

According to Nomura, the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) held a conference today and identified "controlling risks" as the top policy objective for 2013. This reinforces its view that credit growth, as measured by the total social financing, likely peaked in H2 2012 and will decline in 2013 as the government tightens controls on shadow banking activities.

“We expect macro data to remain strong in H1 2013 and GDP growth to be 8.1% as policy easing in H2 2012 feeds into the real economy, but we believe the recovery is not sustainable and GDP growth will likely slow to 7.3% in H2 2013 driven by a decline in credit growth.”

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
