BEIJING (Reuters) - Business confidence among entrepreneurs in China fell in the fourth quarter of 2015 from the third quarter, according to a survey by the People's Bank of China published on Thursday.
More households rated housing prices "unacceptably high" in the fourth quarter versus the third, a separate survey showed.
Another central bank survey said 38.8 percent of bankers believed monetary policy would be relatively loose in the first quarter of 2016. The same survey showed more bankers believed the economy had cooled in the fourth quarter compared with the third quarter.
