皇冠体育app's banking regulator has announced a new crackdown against official corruption following a string of massive graft allegations involving senior executives at major state banks.
The 皇冠体育app Banking Regulatory Commission says it will enact a range of investigative checks including the monitoring of mortgage, consumer and infrastructure project loans to help address the problem.
Meanwhile, it indicates banks should also tighten their own checks in order to prevent any new cases of corruption, like those recently exposed at the Bank of 皇冠体育app and 皇冠体育app Construction Bank.
Last week the chairman of 皇冠体育app Construction Bank, Zhang Enzhao, resigned amid reports that he had taken bribes and kickbacks in return for granting favourable loan terms to large clients.
At the Bank of 皇冠体育app, investigators have found one billion yuan, or 120 million dollars, in deposits missing at a local branch after bank officials fled.
