A lot of things in China carry a whiff of excess. The cost of garlic is among them: wholesale prices have almost quadrupled since March. A halving of the planting area last year, and belief in the bulb's powers to ward off swine flu, provide some justification for the surge. But anecdotes of unbridled trading activity in Jinxiang county, home to China's largest garlic plant, suggest that the most likely cause is the most obvious – the abundant liquidity swilling through the system. New loans in China may top Rmb10,000bn this year, double the run-rate of the preceding years; 2010 should bring another Rmb7-8,000bn.
manbetx3.0 很多东西都有一丝过度的味道。大蒜价格是其中之一：自3月份以来，批发价格已几乎上涨了三倍。去年种植面积减半，加之目前人们相信大蒜有助于抵御猪流感，为这种飙升提供了一些合理解释。但是，从“manbetx3.0 蒜都”——山东省金乡县——传来的消息看，交易活动之所以达到疯狂程度，最有可能的原因也最为明显，那就是金融体系中充沛的流动性。manbetx3.0 今年新增贷款总额可能达到10万亿元人民币，比往年水平高出一倍；2010年新增贷款估计也将达到7万亿至8万亿元人民币。
