This poses the interesting question: With money growth figures showing no signs of slowing down, who is still borrowing in this turbulent credit environment? Who is still able to borrow, and where is that money going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thirdwave Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) money rate in china is 20% and they have inflation. China is growing at around 12% pa with inflation around 4%. India's GDP is growing at 9% while inflation is 3.5%. Wage inflation in both countries is in double digits. How do they do it???With such levels of expansion one would expect runaway inflation...right? Edited September 20, 2007 by thirdwave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China saves excessively (under-consumes), and exports its capital to the West. This enables it to have a lower level of inflation than would otherwise be the case. It's still 6.5% though.
