In the five years ahead, the challenges for mainland China’s banking sector will be greater than its opportunities. This study finds that the mainland’s banking sector can expect lending business to prosper for only two more years, with supply starting to exceed demand in the credit market in 2014, and with market competition becoming increasingly intense. While Taiwanese-invested banks are at present actively seeking to establish a presence in the mainland, they need to be able to take advantage of the positive market conditions in the next two years, or else face having to swallow losses before they can reap profit from their mainland entry. This warrants careful consideration by the banks. The relevant policy recommendations are as follows: ─ Establishing an overall mechanism for controlling aggregate risk: For an individual bank, we recommended taking an aggregative control approach to managing risk, setting a 15% net worth standard for control of aggregate risk. ─ Strengthening credit risk management in the mainland: Limiting a bank's lending to a single customer in the mainland to no more than 10% of its total lending, or to a maximum amount equivalent to one billion NT dollars if the 10% ratio is less than that amount. ─ Strengthening disclosure of the non-performing loan (NPL) ratio of lending in the mainland: We recommend that banks engaging in lending in the mainland should be required to make monthly announcements of amounts, ratios and other information on overdue loans. |
