MNI POLICY: China Directs LGBs To Capitalize Small Banks

MNI (London)
--Special Purpose Bonds Can be Used To Help Get Lending To SMEs
     BEIJING (MNI) - China has allowed some of the proceeds from special purpose
local government bonds to recapitalize regional banks, so they can then beef up
their lending to support small firms and stabilize employment, a statement
following Wednesday's State Council executive meeting said.
     Local governments can inject capital into regional banks via investment in
convertible bonds and local authorities are also being encouraged to explore
other ways to boost banks capital, the government said. 
     The authorities should prevent "moral hazard" by having a "maturity and
exit mechanism" in line with market principles for the program, the statement
read, adding they needed to work with bank shareholders and local financial
regulators to ensure assets and capital are verified, risks monitored and 
accountability is in place, the State Council statement said.
