Central bank to release January money supply data

The People's Bank of China, the central bank, is expected to release January data at the weekend on the country's money supply, including the broad measure which covers cash in circulation and all deposits and the bank's new yuan lending, a measure of market liquidity. Due to the country's tightened financial regulations and deleveraging process, money supply growth shrank to last year's slowest level in December.
