10.2 Lending rate change to spur private sector
• China's decision to ease credit regulations is being widely perceived as a major step towards the creation of a capital environment capable of spurring investments in the nation's fund-strapped private sector. • Raising the upper limit for lending is also considered a major move towards a freer, more market-driven banking system.

Meeting Minutes
The minutes of a meeting are a record of what happened, what was decided, and what actions will be taken as a result of the meeting. They should be written for every meeting, and presented at the next meeting or beforehand. Minutes should be written in the third person, for example, the minutes should say "The Board decided..." instead of "We decided...". Minutes need not be typed on a computer. Readable handwriting is fine. The body of each topic should include the important points of the discussion and what action will be taken along with who will take the action and when it will be done. Someone who has never been to the meeting should be able to understand the minutes.
