On May 18 at 00:21, a 5.2-magnitude earthquake struck Liunan District in Liuzhou City, Guangxi, with a focal depth of 8 kilometers. Another 5.2-magnitude tremor occurred at 21:44 the same day at the same depth.
In response to the sudden seismic disaster, China Construction Bank Corporation (CCB) acted swiftly, immediately coordinating inspections of the safety and operational status across all its business outlets, office buildings, and self-service equipment in Liuzhou, Guangxi. The bank comprehensively assessed the impact on its facilities to prevent secondary safety risks, ensuring that financial service channels remain secure, stable, and unobstructed. Special attention was given to core affected areas such as Taiyangcun Town in Liunan District, where relevant branch responsibilities were reinforced. Detailed inspection tasks were assigned, and real-time monitoring of local disaster developments was implemented to actively integrate into the broader regional earthquake relief efforts.
Treating the disaster as a command, branches under CCB's Liuzhou division in Guangxi organized Zhang Fuqing Party Member突击 teams. They conducted thorough assessments via phone and WeChat to determine the impact on small and micro enterprises, individual businesses, and farming households in the affected zones. A register of affected entities was established to gather detailed information on clients' production operations, capital flow, and financial service needs. Tailored support measures were formulated to provide emergency financial assistance to affected residents and enterprises.
One local intelligent agricultural machinery equipment company, with its production facility located in the epicenter Taiyangcun, faced forced temporary shutdowns due to the earthquake. Production lines halted, scheduling was disrupted, and the company encountered significant short-term pressures on operations and capital turnover. Upon learning of the company's difficulties on the morning of May 18, CCB's Liuzhou branch engaged deeply to understand post-disaster recovery funding requirements. It opened a green channel for credit approval to assist the company in resuming production and operations as quickly as possible.
Moving forward, CCB will continue to closely monitor developments in the earthquake-affected area and the progress of recovery and reconstruction efforts. The bank is committed to ensuring robust financial service support, upholding its mission of "finance for the people" through concrete actions, and aiding Liuzhou in restoring normal production and daily life order.
