China central bank says to tighten oversight of company debt, bank assets

BEIJING, Feb 17 (Reuters) China's central bank said today it plans to tighten up its oversight in a range of areas including corporate debt and bank assets, as policymakers fret over fast-rising leverage and the risk of asset bubbles in the rapidly growing economy.
The People's Bank of China (PBOC) also said it will keep the yuan currency basically stable while maintaining a prudent and neutral monetary policy.
"We will increase monitoring of corporate debt risk, bank asset quality and liquidity, abnormal stock market fluctuations, use of insurance funds, property bubble risks...and cross-border capital flows," the central bank said in its fourth-quarter monetary policy implementation report.
