China changes may impact economic policy

08-02-2012

The ratings agency, Standard and Poor's, says the leadership changes in China this year and next may slow the country's policy response to any new external economic shocks. Its head of Asia Pacific sovereign rating, Kim-eng Tan, said some policymakers might not be willing to introduce stimulus measures similiar to those put in place in 2008.

Mr Tan said leaders would focus their attention on domestic issues this year, such as inflation, unemployment and property prices. He said this meant the yuan was unlikely to appreciate in that period.
