Central bank to release data on Q2 credit growth

On Wednesday, the People's Bank of China will release data on credit growth in the second quarter. In the first quarter, the country's banks extended 4.22 trillion yuan ($620 billion) in new yuan loans, down from 4.61 trillion yuan in the same period last year. A slowdown in credit expansion means the economy is growing at a slower pace.
