Latest Chinese credit data for February has been released - 10 March 2021
- Prior +9.4%
- New yuan loans ¥1,360.0 bn vs ¥950.0 bn expected
- Aggregate financing ¥1,710.0 bn vs ¥910.0 bn expected

There isn't much change to the big picture view though, as authorities are still trying to strike a fine balance in keeping a healthy supply of credit while keeping up deleveraging efforts.
