While China’s premier is not facing the press at this National People’s Congress, at least the economic planners answered questions from the media on Wednesday – within the framework of what is usual in China. According to this, the central bank plays a leading role in maintaining the ambitious growth target of around five percent for the current year. It wants to provide enough money to the economy to enable investments. However, it remained unclear how this aligns with the premier’s announcement on Tuesday to accept fewer credit risks in the future.
