MOF, CBRC urge banks to strengthen risk managment

Jun. 1, 2009 (China Knowledge) - China's Ministry of Finance (MOF) and the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) have called on banking and financial institutions in the country to tighten financial and risk management to ensure the quality of their new loans, according to a joint statement released by MOF and CBRC on Sunday.

The statement published on CBRC's website said banks should pay close attention to a company's finances, its external guarantees and its other liabilities to prevent risk pooling.

When extending loans for mergers and acquisitions (M&A), banks should carefully analyze and evaluate risks to prevent possible losses caused by blind expansion.

In the first four months of this year, China extended a total of RMB 5.17 trillion in loans, surpassing the full-year target of RMB 5 trillion for 2009 because of a relaxed monetary policy intended to boost its economy amid the deepening economic recession.

This sharp growth in new loans aroused deep concerns over potential risks.
