China probes possible CPI data leak |
多部門因宏觀數(shù)據(jù)泄密被調(diào)查 |
The Chinese government has been investigating for several months whether market-sensitive inflation data were leaked to foreign exchange or bond traders ahead of their official release,?China Business News?reports. Officials from the National Bureau of Statistics and central bank have stepped down and may face criminal charges related to the leaks. Phoenix TV's?website reported 10 economic indicators on April 14, quoting an unidentified source. Figures released afterwards by China's central bank and the National Bureau of Statistics matched nine of the ten numbers. An analyst said data leaks can disrupt markets and give an advantage to investors with early access. Such leaks would undermine confidence in official data releases, which provide key trading triggers in the market. Prior to the official release, the data are given to officials at the central bank, the Ministry of Finance, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the government leaders' offices. |
