Difficulties won't stop reform, Li says

Change in finance system to continue despite temporary govt intervention

China's financial system is under control and reforms will not stop despite temporary government intervention, Premier Li Keqiang told the heads of financial institutions at a meeting on Friday.

The government will not stop credit lines for businesses during temporary difficulties if their market outlook is good, according to a circular issued on Sunday, indicating a further loosening of liquidity, although it said the government will stick to prudent monetary policy.
