HAMBURG, November 25, 2010 - High-ranking speakers and more than 400 participants attended

and credit to grow at a proper pace and further promote economic
restructuring and growth pattern through its credit guidance policy. Second,

further improve the RMB exchange rate regime. Third, the PBC will explore to
establish and develop a macro-prudential policy framework. Fourth, the PBC
will promote development of financial markets." Chinese central bank's
Assistant Governor stressed that PBC would give full play to market-oriented
measures and focus on economic institutional reforms in China.

barriers in service-trade: "We call on China and EU authorities, under the
principle of equality and mutual benefit, further mutually open up the
services market, improve investment environment of service trade, effectively

trade protectionist measures, together create a new situation of Sino-EU
service trade cooperation and development."
