并非唯一的货币供应指标

他说：“我们广义货币的增长已经低于名义GDP的增长。我们还是要看物价水平和就业水平，从这儿来衡量货币政策的松还是紧。”
There is no one simple indicator to judge the conditions of money supply, Zhou said. "It is a quite complex issue and multiple factors should be taken into consideration."
周小川说，很难有一个非常简易的指标能让人一下子就看明白，“这是一个比较复杂的事情，必须考虑多种因素，加以判断。”
