     Here are the takeaways from data released on Tuesday by the People's Bank

consensus. 
     - Aggregate financing to the economy rose to a three-month high of CNY2.27
trillion, beating the CNY1.9 trillion forecast and up from CNY1.98 trillion in
August.
     - New loans totaled CNY1.69 trillion, an eight-month high, more than the
CNY1.36 trillion projection and up from CNY1.21 trillion in August.
     - Shadow finance shrank CNY112.2 billion in September, slightly more than a
contraction of CNY101.4 billion in August. Entrusted loans, trust loans and
undiscounted bankers' acceptances declined CNY2.1 billion, CNY67.2 billion and
CNY42.9 billion, respectively.
