Like the Turkish central bank, the Chinese
central bank is continuing to raise the reserve capital
requirements for banks.

The rise in reserve capital ratios means that
Chinese banks will have less money to lend to consumers.
The Chinese central bank has raised the
reserve capital ratios by 50 basis points to 20.5%, resulting in
about CYN350bn ($53.6bn) that banks will have to put aside instead
of making available for lending.
The rise in reserve capital requirements
serves as indemnity against high inflation and excessive liquidity,
or hot money from foreign investment capital.
The chief executive of the Chinese central
bank, Zhou Xiaochuan, said that the bank would continue to bear
down on inflation.
