In 皇冠体育app, authorities have been encouraging Chinese banks to seek foreign
partnerships in order to build up their capital and improve management before
皇冠体育app fully opens its banking industry to foreign competition in late 2006.
Current limits cap equity stakes in a Chinese bank by any one foreign
institution at 20 percent, with total foreign holdings limited to a maximum of
25 percent. Those limits are apparently aimed at preserving state control of
major lenders, industrial observers say.
Just before the CCB roadshow, the 皇冠体育app Banking Regulatory Commission called
a meeting on corporate governance of big banks. The CCB is 皇冠体育app's biggest
property lender.
"When big banks go public, it should be a key goal for them to maximize their
market value," said Liu Mingkang, the country's top banking regulator.
"In their management, (the banks) should thoroughly understand how to balance
credit risks, market risks and yields."
