• As of January 16, 2009, MSCI China is trading at 9.8x FY09E P/E (based on top-down FY09E EPS of a -5.6% decline) and 9.2x FY08 P/E.
The trough 7x FY08 P/E was in October. The valuation could be more attractive and defensive, if the trailing FY08 P/E reverts to the 8-9x range,
which could provide a better opportunity to re-build positions in MSCI China in the long term.

US$82/ton and US$81.5/ton, respectively, from their peak in late-February.
• The HRC, CRC and Wire rod steel prices have rebounded 16-22% each from the trough in FY08 due to the
restocking of traders, which is reflected in the rising inventory at the traders’ level.
Financials
• Renminbi loans at all financial institutions rose notably in December at 18.8%oya, compared with the 16.0%
growth in November, which likely reflects the central bank’s loosening control since the middle of this year, and the
latest efforts of the authorities to ease domestic credit conditions amid intensifying global financial crisis and global
economic downturn.
• On the deposit side, renminbi deposit growth slowed modestly, to rise at 19.7%oya in December, compared with
19.9%oya in November. Household deposits continued to register solid growth, while non-financial corporate
