Its smaller rivals includingBank of Communications Co.,Agricultural Bank of China Ltd.,Bank of China Ltd.andChina Construction Bank Corp.all saw profit increases of below 3%. All except Bank of China were weighed down by rising loan losses.\nLast year’s stimulus pushed China’s debt to almost 280% of annual economic output, the highest ratio since Bloomberg started compiling the data in 2014. The central bank last month asked major lenders to curtail loan growth for the rest of this year on concerns of bubble risks, people familiar with the matter have said.\nEven so, Chinese banks benefited from the nation’s record-breaking 18.3% economic expansion in the first quarter after being put on the front-line in helping millions of struggling businesses hurt by the pandemic last year. They are now shifting focus to more prudent credit growth and internal controls as policy makers have renewed a campaign to restrain leverage and curb risks, especially in the closely managed financial and real estate sectors.\n“The direct impact and indirect impact from Covid-19 are clearing off,” Daiwa Capital Markets analysts Leon Qi and Susie Liu wrote in a recent note. “A ‘pro-risk-containment’ regulatory stance bodes well for credit demand coming back to the official banking system, and hence loan pricing.”\nThe rising loan losses contrast with foreign rivals such as HSBC Holdings Plc, which saw impairments plunge in the first quarter. Chinese regulator CBIRC said this month that the banking industry set aside provisions of 440 billion yuan ($68 billion) in the first quarter, taking the total loan-loss reserves to 6.6 trillion yuan. That has helped them strengthen risk management capability.\nChinese banks advanced 7.67 trillion yuan of new loans in the first quarter. That was 8% more than for the same period last year, when authorities flooded the market with cheap liquidity to help companies through the initial pandemic lockdown.\nBank Loans Growing Faster\nAlthough PBOC wants to contain lending this year at the same level as 2020\nSource: People's Bank of China, Bloomberg reporting\nAppetite for Chinese bank stocks, long regarded as perennial laggards, has grown since late last year as investors hunt for cheaper parts of the market to escape stimulus-fueled valuations. The CSI 300 Banks Index has climbed 12% in the first quarter and traded near the highest in 14 years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":33,"commentSize":10,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
