Yi's remarks in the wake of the global banking crisis were
quoted in a statement posted on the People's Bank of China
website.
China had taken a series of measures to curb financial risks
and to guard against systemic financial risks, Yi said.
"If financial risks emerge, they will harm the interests of
the general public and may even cause social problems," Yi said.
Yi said that the country's foreign exchange conversion quota
of $50,000 per person per year was able to meet most people's
demands for school expenses, travel and trade.
