BEIJING, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) -- The China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission said Saturday that it has encouraged banks and insurance companies to increase funding to meet the financing demand of the real economy.
Preliminary data showed that newly made yuan loans in July stood at 1.45 trillion yuan (212 billion U.S. dollars), up 623.7 billion yuan from the same period last year, the commission said in a statement on its website.
