New bank lending rose to CNY 60 billion in August after contracting CNY 340.0 billion in July. However, this was well below economists' forecast of CNY 480 billion.
During January to August period, yuan-denominated loans rose by CNY 10.44 trillion to CNY 282.35 trillion. This was up by 4.9 percent from the last year.
