negativity. loansve nonperforming rearing their ugly head and housing figures. you saw them dropping. shipis a way to steady the as they focus on the measured slowdown? >> that is probably the right way to look at it. housing is the most worrying part of the economy and they have been easing policy towards housing for months now. must be quite worried about the housing market. i am not sure that a minor rate cut will make a lot of difference. it made ees some pressure on developers. may ease some pressure on

the developers. biga is in the middle of problems with the banking system. cutting rates in a credit bubble is not necessarily the best way to deal with the credit bubble. if anything, you do not want to deal with that at this point. i am a little surprised about the signals coming out of this. >> the concern is the liquidity crunch for the smaller firms in china that may not get the results because of the money. do you think this is the right move that will spur more liquidity access for the private enterprises? >> i think if you worry about access to funding or small firms, you need to reform the

preferencechange the for lending. purely cutting interest rates does not really address the problem. i think you go back to the broader financial system of reform they were talking about a year ago and that will take years to implement. as long as you have the shadow of nonperforming loans hanging over the system, you need to do sit -- you need to do something and you can push ahead to make the flow of funds more efficient. view on theour minor move with more to come here.

-- come here? >> they have a tough balance they are trying to achieve and they need to except the celebration in the growth rates. you are adding to distortions in the economy. you need to except a gradual the ccept a graduala deceleration in the growth rate. theuld expect that on fiscal side. it can be rapidly implemented. we're not at the end of the support and there could be more rate cuts to come. there will be broader support than cutting interest rates. >> that is an interesting point. e is sitting rat at 2.75% for the one-year

that is leading the investment stories in australia today so far. that china has cut interest rate for the first time since 2012, everyone is asking whether this could be the beginning of a broader easing cycle. china,sk our man in steve engle. steve, what is everyone anticipating this morning? the largesteen growth since 1990. some had predicted that they would do exactly what they'd did. the pboc, that is. is a much larger, more mature in economy now, so it can tolerate a slower pace of growth. after that move by the central bank, a number of big banks such chase,lays, jp morgan

they think that the central bank will act again with another cut. the question is, when? that this signals moreicy shift towards aggressive monetary easing, angie, and there is concern about monetary growth and the desperate efforts to lower funding costs in particular for small and medium-sized business that do not have a lot of room a for capital growth right now. it, of you missed course, i will run over what the pboc did on friday. they lowered the rate to 5.6%, lower others to 2.5%. people resisted up until now,

they were targeting the e-zine at measures and looked at liquidity, but what we saw in october was a deepening of the slowdown. that slowdown of seven and a half percent is very much in jeopardy, angie. steve, who do these cuts affect the most? what happens if there is too much easing? question, valid because if you look at the nonperforming loans as well, i believe they were at a nine-year high, there was concerns with a slowdown, that meant that the bad loans could surge. where did the borrowing go? that is the case. authorities claim these cuts are designed to help smaller companies get these lines of credit. there also meant to help depositors. the bulk of bank debt in china,

angie, is still focused on the big borrowers. less than a third of the total is focused on the small of borrowers. these targeted cuts failed in lowering the costs. it question is, again, is will the bank take their marching orders from the tb oc -- pboc and get the economy working? >> thanks so much for that, out of shanghai. establishing hong could beks means they soon become available to chinese investors. david is here to explain what those could be. case it is the nasdaq. -- havedo have the here
