China Issues 760 Million Bank Cards

China had issued more than 760 million RMB bank cards by the end of last year.

China's central bank, the People's Bank of China, says that card based expenditure accounted for around 5 percent of total retail consumption in 2004, as compared to only 2 percent back in 2001.

In Beijing and Shanghai, the figure had climbed to a significant 20 percent.

China has also expanded the overseas use of RMB bank cards, which were useable in Singapore, South Korea and Thailand as of last month.
