(ECNS)?-- Li Yang, prominent economist and academician at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, says China will not issue a 1,000-yuan banknote soon, China News Service reports.
Li made the remarks at a forum held by Peking University.
If more than 30 percent of transactions in the market are dealt with in 100-yuan banknotes, then a 1,000-yuan banknote is needed, he explained.
Li delivered a speech on lowering the leverage ratio, saying that a sovereign debt crisis in China is unlikely.
