</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>This is the second time for the central bank to hike interests rate within 2010 after it raised the benchmark lending and deposit rates by 25 basis points on October 20, as was the first time in about two years.

COMMENTARY:
QING WANG, CHIEF CHINA ECONOMIST AT MORGAN STANLEY IN HONG KONG:
"This rate hike demonstrates Chinese authorities' determination to keep inflation under control up front, or front-loaded tightening."
"Compared to rate hikes in the beginning of next year, a rate hike before year end would have more tightening impact, as the interest rates on the medium- and long-term loans/deposits are reset at the beginning of each year according to the base rates."


XU BIAO, AN ECONOMIST WITH CHINA MERCHANTS BANK IN SHENZHEN:
"It's a surprise for me. The second rate hike this year may indicate that China is entering a cycle of interest rate increases."
"The move may also be targeted at recent developments in the property market. In cities like Shenzhen, property prices are rising quite strongly, and the central bank may want to curb asset price increases with higher interest rates."
