	People's Bank of China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The People's Bank of China (中国人民银行, pinyin: Zhōngguó Rénmín Yínháng) (not to be confused with the Bank of China or the Central Bank of China) is the central bank of the People's Republic of China with the power to control monetary policy and regulate financial institutions in mainland China.
		In the 1980s, as part of economic reform, the commercial banking functions of the PBOC were split off into four independent but state-owned banks, and the mission of the PBOC was refocused to undertake only the functions of a central bank.
		In Hong Kong, the central bank is the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and policy is directed by the Financial Secretary.

		How much money banks have to loan is decided by their adequacy level and their own assessment on commercial terms of the potential of the borrower (4).
		China doesn't say how much it keeps in particular currencies but it is assumed that the Central Bank has about 57% of its reserves in U.S. dollar and 25% (down from 33%) in yen.
