Saturday Tid-bits

* Average Mainland Chinese bank lending rates are rising much faster than cost of funds or benchmark rates, leading some to conclude that Chinese banks are learning to price credit risk.
* CCB will reportedly launch its HK IPO next month, with pricing in late October or early November. MS & probably CSFB to lead.
* Bank of Shanghai 1H05 profit +22% YoY.
* Just got around to reading last week's Barron's; Leslie Norton highlights Japanese financials therein. Quite a strong piece, quoting among others CLSA's Dan Tabbush.
* "Paper or Online? Many Bank Customers Still Pick the Old Way," NYT
