Chinanews, Hong Kong, Dec. 5 – Hong Kong-based Wen Wei Po recently quoted a mainland economist1, who remains2 anonymous3, as saying that two major changes might occur in central government's policy next year.
The first change is that the central government is now alert to any possible inflation, while previously4, it focused its attention solely5 on cooling down economy. This will be the first time since 2000 for the central government to put inflation control as its top priority task. The second change is that the central government will adopt an even more tightened6 monetary7 policy. In a working meeting held on June 13, the State Council proposed that China should follow a moderately tightened monetary policy in future. This indicates that next year, the government will adopt an even more tightened monetary policy. It is also the first time that China proposes to take a tightened monetary policy after the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis.
In 2007, the central bank has raised the interest rate five times and the required reserves ratio nine times. This already reflects central government's intention to adopt a tightened monetary policy. Despite this, many scholars and officials still criticized the central government's leniency8 in implementing9 such policy. The central bank once planned that in 2007, newly released loans by banks should not exceed 3.5 trillion yuan and it wanted to reduce the loan release growth rate to within 15%. However, during the first half of this year, the newly released loans had already reached 2.54 trillion yuan, which hit 70% of the whole year's target number. By the end of October, the new loans given by banks had already reached the whole year's target. The increasing rate for new loans reached 17.66%, far above the original plan.
In light of this, some economists10 predict that in 2008, with a tightened policy, both the money supply and new loans released by banks will be reduced. The central government will make more efforts to prohibit the blind expansion of industries that involve high energy consumption and heavy pollution. In addition, the government will strengthen readjustment to ensure that the supply of some important commodities in the market will remain sufficient. It will also take measures to make sure that commodity prices will not climb too rapidly, the experts say.
