ING Say Should Anticipate Markets Remaining Soft In Net Terms

CHINA
  • From the earlier wall street journal piece:
  • As part of its stimulus efforts, Beijing is considering issuing roughly one trillion yuan, equivalent to about $140 billion, of special treasury bonds to help indebted local governments and boost business confidence, according to people familiar with the discussions.
  • The special bonds would be used to finance infrastructure projects and other initiatives aimed at boosting economic growth, the people said. They would also be indirectly used to help local governments repay their debt. (WSJ)
