BEIJING - The People's Bank of China, the central bank, said Friday it had set up special mechanisms to make sure relief funds could be promptly allocated from the State Treasury.
By 6 pm Thursday, the State Treasury Bureau had allocated a total of 260 million yuan ($38 million) for the relief, and its branches in the quake-hit Qinghai Province had allocated 612 million yuan.
