Operating profit was 13.02 billion yuan, up 44.46 percent, while net profit stood at 9.94 billion yuan, up 49.4 percent. The figures were far from the more than 80 percent year-on-year growth rate posted last year. Due to the credit crunch, property developers had sought to broaden channels of financing.

Loans would not go to projects in such areas for commercial properties or to rural residents' land purchase for home construction. |
