More than 2.43 trillion yuan in savings were tied up in China's various social insurance funds at the end of 2010, according to data released by Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security yesterday. Due to regulations that restrict how these funds can be invested, 90% of the savings are currently earning very low yields as they're deposited with various large domestic banks. Only 10% of the capital held by the social insurance funds are being invested in bonds and other higher-earning investments.
