China could raise bank loans target to RMB9 trillion

Almost a trillion higher than 2012's.

According to BBVA, Caixin Magazine reported that this year’s target for new bank loans in China has been set at RMB 9trn, higher than 2012’s outturn of RMB 8.2trn (unannounced target in 2012: RMB 8-8.5 trillion).

"Those numbers have not been confirmed, and it is still too early to assess whether credit conditions in China will be tighter this year compared with last year, given that financial institutions have embraced various ‘other’ forms of credit expansion - for example, by buying corporate bonds. As highlighted by the PBoC’s statistics for total social financing (TSF), only 52% of incremental credit increase in 2012 was issued through bank loans."

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.
