Deepening its roots in regional economic development, Bank of Chengdu Co., Ltd. has achieved remarkable growth. As the national "fourth growth pole," the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone plays a pivotal role in connecting the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the Belt and Road Initiative. Serving as a core financial institution in the region, Bank of Chengdu has strengthened its role as a "bridge" and "engine" for local financial entities, setting a benchmark among leading western city commercial banks. By supporting regional development, industries, and public welfare, the bank has consistently created financial value, striving to establish itself as a "new financial landmark" reflecting the region’s economic vitality.
**Over Trillion-Yuan Financing for Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone** As a key financial force in the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone, Bank of Chengdu has adopted a three-pronged service model—focusing on major projects, industrial upgrades, and resource allocation—to bolster regional development. Over the past five years, the bank has extended over one trillion yuan in credit to the zone, including more than 300 billion yuan in 2024 alone, supporting urban construction, industrial projects, and transit-oriented development (TOD) initiatives.
In 2024, Bank of Chengdu allocated over 28 billion yuan to rail transit and TOD projects, directly financed over 10 billion yuan for regional railways and Tianfu Airport, and facilitated syndicated loans exceeding 45 billion yuan. Aligning with Chengdu’s industrial chain enhancement strategy, the bank has prioritized sectors like electronics, aerospace, green energy, and healthcare. By mapping out industrial ecosystems and maintaining a targeted client list, it has extended over 15 billion yuan in credit to more than 200 tech-driven enterprises in Sichuan and supported over 5,000 small and micro businesses along supply chains by the end of 2024.
**Leapfrog Growth Amid Regional Synergy** Bank of Chengdu’s synchronized growth with the regional economy has propelled its own rapid expansion. Over the past five years, its total assets, deposits, loans, and net profit growth have ranked among the top three A-listed banks, with the highest return on equity and industry-leading low non-performing loan ratios. Since its 2018 IPO, its stock price surge has outpaced all 42 A-share listed banks.
As Sichuan’s first listed bank, Bank of Chengdu is now one of the fastest-growing city commercial banks in Southwest China, balancing scale and quality. By end-2024, its total assets reached 1.25 trillion yuan, up 14.56% year-on-year, while deposits and loans grew by 13.51% and 18.67%, respectively. Notably, its deposit and loan scales have expanded by hundreds of billions annually for four consecutive years, with 2024 figures representing 2.9x, 2.8x, and 5x pre-IPO levels in assets, deposits, and loans.
The bank also maintains top-tier asset quality and risk resilience among peers, underpinned by stringent risk controls. Its achievements have earned industry recognition, topping both the "2025 China Banking Growth & Leadership Report’s" Growth 50 Banks and Top 10 City Commercial Banks rankings. Since 2021, it has held the No. 1 spot in the Growth 50 list for five straight years.
