CHINA PRESS
CHINA PRESS: Experts think overall bad-loan pressure on listed banks has fallen
significantly and asset quality of some has increasingly improved, the China
Securities Journal reported Tuesday. According to the China Banking Regulatory
Commission, outstanding bad loans at commercial banks were CNY1.64 trillion in
the second quarter and the bad-loan rate was 1.74% -- level with the quarter
before. The newspaper said asset quality of credit in general was stable but
divergence exists. The report quoted analysts saying adjustment of industrial
structures in the first half led to a more stable bad-loan rate for listed banks
-- but bad loan pressure still exists and divergence in the banking sector would
continue. New loans were mainly low-risk mortgages and in the infrastructure and
service sectors -- showing banks are generally cautious and their risk
preference isn't high. (China Securities Journal)
