Several investment banks say
they don't expect the
earthquake in Sichuan to harm
the country's economic growth.
But they expressed concern
that it might prompt higher
inflation, as much of the
country's farmland is in
Sichuan province. Many
economists had originally
expected tight food supplies
to ease in the second half of
the year, and this would lower
inflation.
