    Preliminary manufacturing PMI shows weaker growth in December

    China's manufacturing sector will likely see the slowest expansion in three months in December because of lower output growth, HSBC Holdings Plc said on Monday.

    A preliminary reading of the Purchasing Managers' Index for the manufacturing industry edged down to 50.5 in December from 50.8 in November, the lowest level since October, the bank said in a report.

    The production output sub-index slipped to 51.8 in December from 52.2 in November, pressuring the index.

    Meanwhile, the new orders sub-index hit a nine-month high of 51.8 in December, compared with 51.7 in November, while the new export orders sub-index rose to 50.3 from 50.2 last month, suggesting stable market demand.

    A reading above 50 indicates expansion, while one below that level signals contraction.

    The official PMI data for December will be released on Jan 1 by the National Bureau of Statistics and the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing. HSBC will release its final PMI data on Jan 2.

    Qu Hongbin, chief economist in China at HSBC, said that although December's preliminary manufacturing PMI reading slowed marginally from November's final reading, it still stands above the third quarter's average reading of 49.7.

    The latest reading implies that the manufacturing sector's recovery, which started in July, is still holding up, Qu said.

    He believes that China's GDP growth will stabilize at about 7.8 percent year-on-year in the fourth quarter.

    Zhang Zhiwei, chief economist in China at Nomura Securities Co Ltd, said that the slowdown in the PMI data "suggests that growth momentum has started to weaken".

    "This trend is likely to continue in the first half of 2014, as market interest rates keep rising and pushing up financing costs for enterprises," said Zhang.

    Figures from the central bank showed that new loans came in at 625 billion yuan ($103 billion) in November due to stronger retail and short-term corporate loans, rebounding from 506 billion yuan in October. Off-balance sheet lending saw a broad-based recovery to 377.9 billion yuan in November from 184 billion yuan in October but was still below the August-September levels.

    A report from Barclays Capital said that short-term bill issuance has increased, as rising funding costs have probably led companies to rely more on short-term financing.

    According to the NBS, industrial output growth in November slowed to 10 percent year-on-year from 10.3 percent in October, which may indicate that the GDP growth rate in the last quarter may be at 7.6 to 7.8 percent, compared with 7.8 percent in the third quarter and 7.5 percent in the second, analysts said.
