Those worries about inflation in the world's second-biggest economy meant the move by The People's Bank of China had been expected by the end of the year or early next year. Effective from Sunday, the benchmark 1-year lending rate will climb 25 basis points to 5.81 percent, while the 1-year deposit rate will go up the same amount to 2.75 percent, the central bank said on its website. Earlier this month, China's leaders wrapped up an annual economic planning meeting with a pledge to cool surging inflation while shifting the economy toward more stable, balanced growth. Inflation is especially sensitive in a society where poor families spend up to half their incomes on food. Rising incomes have helped to offset price hikes, but inflation undercuts economic gains that help support the ruling Communist Party's claim to power. Inflation jumped to 5.1 percent in November, a 28-month high despite a crackdown on speculation and repeated moves to curb a flood of money circulating in the economy from massive stimulus spending and bank lending. Chinese banks lent a total of 7.45 trillion yuan ($1.1 trillion) in January-November and are certain to overshoot the government's official lending target of 7.5 trillion yuan. While a frenzy of lending over the past two years has helped China rebound quickly from the global crisis, combined with bad weather and rising global commodity prices, it has complicated efforts to cool inflation. November's rate was way above the government's original target of 3 percent. The rate increases, which follow similar moves Oct. 19, also highlight the divergence of China's robust economic expansion from the United States, Europe and Japan, which still are trying to shore up growth. China's rapid economic growth eased to 9.6 percent in the three months ending in September from a post-crisis high of 11.9 percent in the first quarter. It is expected to fall further in coming months but to remain strong. Mindful of the political turmoil linked to past bouts of inflation, Beijing has already sought to reassure the public it has prices under control. Earlier this month it raised banks' reserve requirement ratio _ meaning they have to hold more deposit funds in reserve rather than lending them out _for the sixth time this year to help curb the surge in lending. ___ Online: http://www.pbc.gov.cn (In Chinese) Recommend Send IM Story Print Related Articles US-BUSINESS Summary Reuters - 1 hour 2 minutes ago Egypt GDP growth seen 5.8-6.0 pct in fiscal 2010/11 Reuters - 1 hour 3 minutes ago World economy can withstand $100 oil price: Kuwait Reuters - Sunday, December 26 China fights inflation with Christmas rate rise Reuters - Sunday, December 26 China hikes interest rates in battle to curb inflation AFP - Sunday, December 26 News Search Top Stories S.Africa formally invited to join BRIC: minister Christmas eve bus accident kills 41 in Ecuador Michelle Obama helps kids track Santa Claus Fresh charge against Ukraine's Tymoshenko Peru police clear archaeological site of squatters More Top Stories » Related Full Coverage China Economychina economy All Full Coverage » ADVERTISEMENT Most Popular Most Viewed Most Recommended Indonesia's dragons draw tourists to 'Jurassic' islands Naked Aphrodite on Cyprus passport causes stir Michelle Obama helps kids track Santa Claus Hollywood stars Johansson, Reynolds divorce Pope hails God's 'surprises' in Christmas message More Most Viewed » Defiant Obama defends tax cuts, eyes 2012 More Most Recommended » Elsewhere on Yahoo!
