BEIJING, April 26 (Xinhua) -- China's inclusive finance registered rapid growth in the first quarter of the year, with RMB loans increasing by 1.03 trillion yuan (about 145.47 billion U.S. dollars), according to a report from the People's Bank of China (PBOC).

The new loans marked a year-on-year increment of 313.5 billion yuan in the period. While the outstanding loans climbed 17.7 percent year on year to 18.33 trillion yuan by the end of March, with the growing pace accelerating 0.6 percentage points from the end of 2019, the report said.
