"If the monetary stance is made more neutral while remaining prudent, it will benefit China's structural reform, because if the stance is too loose, enterprises will not face pressure to reduce leverage," he said.

他说：“货币政策在稳健方面适当做得更加中性一些，会有利于我们供给侧结构性改革。如果货币太松的话，企业去杠杆的压力就不够。”

央行行长周小川表示，去年，房地产信贷里面增长比较快的主要是个人购房贷款。随着住房产业的政策调整，估计会适当放慢。

Extension of mortgage loans will help to reduce real estate stocks in lower-tier cities, but it may lead to price rises in major cities, Zhou said, adding that mortgage loans can boost growth of related industries. "We should adopt a relatively balanced policy (on mortgage loans)," he said.

他表示，个人购房贷款的增长，在一些城市特别是三四线城市住房库存比较多，有助于降库存。但是反过来说，在一二线城市又容易使住房价格上升。个人购房贷款会促进相关产业链的发展。他说：“住房贷款确实要适当平衡。”

Zhou said mortgage loans may continue to rise at a "relatively fast" pace, although it may moderately slow in the coming years.

China-US interest rate gap not big factor on yuan rate

中美利差不一定会影响人民币的稳定

The interest rate gap between China and the US will not necessarily have a major impact on the exchange rate of the yuan, said Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the central bank, on Friday.

央行行长周小川表示，中国和美国在利率方面的差异不一定会影响人民币的稳定。

Interest rate gap is a factor that drives short-term international capital flows, but in the middle term, a country's economic fundamentals, such as growth rate, investor confidence, and inflation level, determine the direction of cross-border capital flows, he told a news conference during the ongoing legislative and political advisory sessions.

他在记者会上说，利率差异往往是导致一些短期操作方面的动因，钱是会朝着利率高的方向移动。但是，从中期的角度来看，各国的利率水平主要由国内经济的情况所决定的，而国内的经济情况既包括经济增长、对本国经济的信心以及通货膨胀率。

He cited the case of Japan, which has ultra-low interest rates for years.

他以日本为例，日本多年来利率都很低。
