China will maintain a prudent monetary policy in the second half of the year, according to information released from internal conferences of financial regulators, China Securities Journal reported Thursday.
As inflation may soon hit a peak, China is considering adjusting to a "directional loose" monetary policy by relaxing restrictions on financing, especially in the sectors of agriculture, small and medium-sized enterprises and affordable housing, the report said.
Analysts said keeping an "overall tightening" policy will curb the rising of prices and a "directional loose" policy will avoid the lag effect of monetary policies, according to the report.
