A Fitch Ratings report says that an estimated 7.5 trillion yuan of loans have been made by Chinese banks, exceeding the limit that bank regulators had set for 2010 for new local currency lending. In addition another 3 trillion yuan was loaned by using trusts and other mechanisms and this has not been recorded on bank balance sheets. Including this lending taking place in a sort of shadow banking system, the total lending is the same as in 2009 when the heightened stimulus lending ocurred. This explains the inflationary pressures facing the Chinese economy and the growing property bubble.

Even after the efforts to restrain lending in 2010 in China following heightened stimulus lending in 2009, the level of bank lending has exceeded 10.5 trillion yuan and is at the same level as 2009. This includes the lending through trusts and other mechanisms according to Fitch Ratings. This explains the inflationary pressures and property bubble.
