Topic4 China Gives the Go-ahead for Private BanksShang Fulin, chairman of the China Banking Regulatory Commission, says on Tuesday that ten companies including Internet giants Alibaba and Tencent have been picked to invest in China's first five privately owned banks.
Shang says the planned banks, part of sweeping reform plans announced last year, will be expected to operate independently and according to market principles. He gave no timetable for when they would open or details of their intended size.
Private capital only accounts for 10% of total capital of mid and big banks. The figure is as high as 50% in small sized banks and 90% in rural small sized finance institutions.
Are private banks really coming? How big is the will to allow market forces into the bankingsector?
