BEIJING Kyrie Irving USA Jersey , March 25 (Xinhua) -- China's loan for agriculture stood at 23.6 trillion yuan (3.84 trillion U.S. dollars) in 2014, up 13 percent year on year, according to a central bank's report released on Wednesday.


The volume took up 28.1 percent of the country's year-round total loans, and its growth rate is 0.7 percentage point higher than the average growth speed of other loans, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) said.


Lu Lei Kyle Lowry USA Jersey , head of the PBOC's research department, said the two cuts to reserve requirement ratio (RRR) have greatly boosted development in rural areas.


The RRR was cut twice last year for banks engaged in lending to agriculture, by 2 percentage points in April and 0.5 percentage points in June.


The central bank will encourage commercial banks to provide more credit to small businesses without a sharp expansion in total loan volume.


Lu said supporting rural finance should include payment and settlement networks, rural bank cards, property records and mobile connectivity.


"One of the major problems is lack of information and Internet Kobe Bryant USA Jersey ,necessary in developing modern agriculture," Lu said.


More institutions and companies are expanding their coverage to achieve mobile transactions without banks or ATMs, he said.


"Fewer outlets cut costs for both institutions and customers." Lu explained. "This will boost Internet finance."


He said there is no conflict between traditional financial institutions and Internet enterprises.

ARSENE Wenger must start learning from his mistakes if Arsenal is to compete at the highest level of European football, Alisher Usmanov, the London club’s second-largest shareholder, has said.


The Russian billionaire Karl Malone USA Jersey , who owns 30 percent of the Gunners, is frustrated by Arsenal’s worst start to a Premier League season which has brought four wins from its first 12 matches and little more than half the points that leader Chelsea has.


“Arsenal is a dream that sometimes becomes a mirage and sometimes a pain,” Usmanov was quoted as saying in British media yesterday ahead of the club’s midweek Champions League clash at home to Borussia Dortmund.


“The potential of the team is there, but there is no critical evaluation of mistakes.


“No genius can retain the same level of genius if they do not acknowledge mistakes. We just repeat the same mistakes year by year.”


Arsenal ended a near decade long wait for silverware last season with an FA Cup triumph but the optimism that was instilled has faded quickly after a poor start to the season.


Consecutive league defeats to Swansea City and Manchester United have left Arsenal in eighth place.


It also lost early in the League Cup.


It should qualify for the knockout rounds of the Champions League but defeat by Dortmund tonight could leave it vulnerable.


Arsenal’s lack of defensive stability has been held up as the team’s main failing of the season so far but Usmanov believes all departments need strengthening.


“We need to strengthen every position to play on the level of such teams as Chelsea and Manchester City and in Europe like Real Madrid, Barcelona John Stockton USA Jersey , Paris St Germain and other clubs,” he said.


“I like Arsene for his principles,” he added. “But principles are sort of a restriction. And restrictions are always lost possibilities.”
