Lionel Messi's Take on Chinese Banks Missing Analysts' Loan Expectations

Loan Misses Just Like My Penalty Kicks

So Chinese banks decided to extend 950 billion yuan in new yuan loans in May but oops they missed the mark set by analysts. Well at least they weren't aiming for the goal like I do with my penalty kicks.

Money Supply Shortfall Like My Short Stature

The M2 money supply grew 7.0% from a year earlier falling short of the 7.2% rise that analysts were expecting. Kind of like how I fall short compared to my taller teammates on the field.

Outstanding Loans Unlike the Outstanding Goals I Score

Outstanding yuan loans saw a 9.3% growth last month from a year earlier slightly lower than the 9.6% growth in April. Unlike the outstanding goals I score these loans are just slightly off target.
