New bank

China's banking regulator said last week it had approved the establishment of the China Post Savings Bank, creating the nation's fifth biggest lender by deposits from a reorganization of the post office.

The government will split all financial businesses from the State Post Bureau within six months, the China Banking Regulatory Commission said.

With 36,000 postal outlets nationwide, the Post Savings Bank will be a new rival for Agricultural Bank of China, the weakest of the nation's four biggest State-owned banks in terms of asset quality.

Textile industry

China's textile exports are expected to increase by over 50 per cent by 2010 from last year, according to the 11th Five-Year Plan (2006-10) for the industry, which was revealed last week.

Textile and garment exports will reach US$180 billion by 2010, according to the plan.
The National Development and Reform Commission, China National Textile Industry Council and local government agencies have jointly developed the plan over the past two years.
