Continue to urge banking financial institutions to strengthen the development of loan renewal products and increase loan renewal support for eligible small and micro enterprises

The State Financial Regulatory Bureau today publicly responded to the 1352nd Proposal of the Second Session of the 14th National People's Congress. The State Financial Regulatory Bureau pointed out that it attaches great importance to the issue of capital continuation for small, medium and micro enterprises. While requiring banks to operate prudently and in a standardized manner and manage risks, it has introduced a normalized incentive policy for small and micro enterprise loan renewal in order to shorten loan turnover time and reduce the cost of "bridge" funds. As of the end of May 2024, the balance of small and micro enterprises' loan renewal without repayment of principal was 5.6 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 25.6%. In the next step, the Financial Regulatory Bureau will continue to urge banking financial institutions to implement the regulatory policy on loan renewal for small and micro enterprises, strengthen the development of loan renewal products, and increase loan renewal support for qualified small and micro enterprises.

At the end of July, the non-performing loan ratio of the banking industry was 1.61%, 0.08 percentage points lower than the same period last year.

Xiao Yuanqi, deputy director of the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau, said at a press conference on August 21 that at the end of July, the total assets of banking financial institutions were 423.8 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7%; the total assets of the insurance industry were 33.9 trillion yuan, an increase of 7.7% from the beginning of the year. Asset quality remained stable, and the non-performing loan ratio was stable and declining. Since the beginning of this year, credit risks have been generally controllable. At the end of July, the non-performing loan ratio of the banking industry was 1.61%, 0.08 percentage points lower than the same period last year. The disposal of non-performing assets has also been further strengthened. In the first half of this year, banks disposed of 1.4 trillion yuan of non-performing assets. Risk compensation has been stable and increased. At the end of July, the bank loan provision coverage ratio was 216.7%, which means that the loan loss provision was more than twice the non-performing loan. At the same time, at the end of the first half of the year, the bank's capital adequacy ratio was 15.53%, and the insurance company's comprehensive solvency and core solvency adequacy ratios were 195.5% and 132.4% respectively. The "ammunition" of banks and insurance institutions to resist risks is still very sufficient. Liquidity is stable and improving. The two main liquidity indicators of banks, liquidity coverage ratio and net stable funding ratio, are in line with regulatory requirements. Therefore, my country's banking industry is currently stable and improving, risks are controllable, and the main operating indicators and regulatory indicators are in a healthy and reasonable range.

In the first half of the year, the net profits of several private banks decreased year-on-year, mainly due to the significant increase in provisioning

Liao Yuanyuan, director of the Statistics and Risk Monitoring Department of the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau, said at a press conference on the 21st that the growth rate of private banks' net profit has shown negative growth. We have also noticed this. In the first half of this year, private banks were generally profitable, but the net profit of several private banks declined year-on-year. The main reason is that these banks have significantly increased their provisioning efforts compared with the same period last year, which directly affected the current profits and led to a phased decline in the net profit of private banks.

We will guide banking institutions to continue to strengthen refined management, cultivate new profit growth points and continuously improve profitability

Liao Yuanyuan, director of the Statistics and Risk Monitoring Department of the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau, said at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office on the 21st that maintaining a reasonable profit level is of great significance for banks to replenish capital in a timely manner, maintain stable operations, and enhance their ability to serve the real economy. Faced with the pressure of slowing profit growth, commercial banks have also used various methods to tap internal potential, reduce costs and increase efficiency in recent years. At present, the profitability of China's commercial banks is still in a reasonable range. For example, in the first half of this year, the bank's net profit increased by 0.4% year-on-year, still achieving positive growth in net profit. In other words, it is not only profitable, but also has positive growth in net profit. During the same period, the bank's asset profit rate and capital profit rate also remained basically stable. In the next step, the Financial Supervision Bureau will guide banking institutions to continue to strengthen refined management, optimize the asset-liability structure, cultivate new profit growth points, and continuously improve profitability.

Just now, a reporter mentioned that the growth rate of private banks' net profit has shown negative growth. We have also noticed this. In the first half of this year, private banks were generally profitable, but the net profit of several private banks declined year-on-year. This is mainly because these banks have significantly increased their provisioning efforts compared with the same period last year, which directly affected the current profits and led to a phased decline in the net profit of private banks.

Insurance compensation in my country accounts for about 10% of economic losses from disasters, and there is still much room for improvement.

Yin Jiangao, director of the Property Insurance Supervision Department of the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau, said at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office on the 21st that the role of the insurance industry in responding to disasters is increasingly being played, but compared with the global average, there is still much room for improvement.

In our country, insurance compensation accounts for about 10% of the economic losses from disasters, and there is still much room for improvement.
