HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Moody’s Investors Services said Monday it has kept its stable rating on the Chinese banking system, but cited mounting challenges. The credit-rating firm said Chinese banks are under pressure to restrain credit growth such that inflationary pressures are held in check while simultaneously accommodating the government’s 7% to 8% GDP-growth target for each of the four years through 2015. Moody’s said non-performing loans will likely rise, but the cost will be offset by robust earnings, a draw down on loan-loss reserves, and capital raisings. Moody’s said inflationary risks have increased, which could sooner or later could lead to higher interest rates. “Such a development is in turn likely to contribute to a rise in NPLs, reversing the declining trend of the past decade,” Moody’s said in the annually through the four-year period through 2015.
