TREE NEWS update: The People’s Bank of China’s deputy director of the Credit Market Department, Che Shiyi, said the balance of domestic and foreign currency medium- and long-term loans to the services sector reached 76.22 trillion yuan at the end of the second quarter of this year, up 6.4% year on year. The growth rate was 1.3 percentage points higher than that of all loans, reflecting financial support for the services sector.
China’s Medium- and Long-Term Services Loans Hit 76.22 Trillion Yuan
The signal here is relative, not absolute: services credit is expanding faster than the overall loan book, which suggests the sector is being prioritised as a growth engine rather than simply riding broad credit expansion. That matters for anyone tracking where Chinese domestic demand is being financed, including real-economy assets that depend on services activity. The open question is whether this outpace persists as base effects shift, and whether faster credit growth translates into actual services output rather than balance-sheet expansion alone.
