China's November new bank loans rise to 390 billion yuan, missing forecast

BY Reuters | ECONOMIC | 12/12/25 04:10 AM EST

BEIJING, Dec 12 (Reuters) - Chinese banks extended 390 billion yuan ($55 billion) in new loans in November, up from 220 billion yuan in October but missing expectations, according to Reuters calculations based on data from the People's Bank of China on Friday.

The figure was below the 500 billion yuan expected by analysts polled by Reuters and lower than the 580 billion recorded a year earlier.

China's central bank does not provide monthly breakdowns. Reuters calculated the November figure based on the bank's January-to-November data and compared it with the January-to-October figure.

All Fixed Income News

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
