Two officials questioned over economic data leak |
兩部委副處級官員涉案數據泄密 |
Two mid-level government officials have been detained by authorities in March and April in an investigation of economic data leaks, China Business News reported Wednesday, citing anonymous sources close to the matter. The two officials are a secretary surnamed Sun from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and Wu Chaoming, a researcher at the central bank's research bureau. According to the newspaper, Wu has been earning money producing analysis reports for securities companies. Over the past three years, data on major economic indicators including gross domestic product (GDP) and the consumer price index (CPI) have been frequently leaked to institutions before official releases. Several people with the National Development and Research Commission (NDRC) and securities companies are also under investigation, the newspaper cited another source as saying. |
《第一財經日報》記者從知情人士處獲悉,今年3、4月份,兩名副處級政府官員涉案宏觀數據泄露,被有關部門帶走調查,迄今仍未回辦公室。 兩名官員分別為國家統計局辦公室一名孫姓秘書和央行研究局宏觀經濟研究處副研究員伍超明。其中伍超明多次給券商作報告,從中獲得了利益。 近3年來,國家統計局發布的國內生產總值(GDP)、居民消費價格(CPI)等關鍵數據頻頻被提前曝光。 另有知情人士向記者透露,國家發改委和券商也有人員因數據泄密被調查。 |
