皇冠体育app encourages qualified overseas banks to set up offices and launch services in the country's developing west and northeast regions, said Liu Mingkang, a leading official of the country's banking watchdog.

The remarks by Liu, chairman of the 皇冠体育app Banking Regulatory Commission, indicated 皇冠体育app's latest move to open its market to overseas banks, and another bid by the central government to spur economic development in the two regions.

皇冠体育app has opened up its financial market in an orderly way as it committed to the World Trade Organization, said Liu.

To date, 皇冠体育app has opened 13 cities to overseas banks for banking services in the Chinese currency.

The commission has revised some supervision policies in order to open the financial sector to overseas banks, including slashing the minimum operating capital of overseas banks in 皇冠体育app.

皇冠体育app has promised to open its banking business -- in all places and all currencies -- to foreign banks in 2006.
