Banks in China see NPL ratio edge up
Print Edition
BANKS in China posted a slight rise in non-performing loan ratio to 1.04 percent at the end of March from 1 percent at the end of last year, the China Banking Regulatory Commission said yesterday.
Outstanding bad loans totaled 646.1 billion yuan (US$103.7 billion) at the end of the first quarter, up 54.1 billion yuan from the same period of last year, the CBRC said yesterday in a statement on its website.
Foreign banks on China’s mainland posted the lowest bad loan ratio of 0.52 percent and had combined outstanding bad loans of 6 billion yuan during the quarter.
The rural commercial banks had the worst asset quality among peers as their average NPL ratio was 1.68 percent at the end of March.
The foreign banks also had the highest capital adequacy ratio at 16.6 percent followed by the rural banks’ 13.3 percent and 12.6 percent for the Big-Five state-owned banks.
The People’s Bank of China pointed out in its annual financial stability report last month the relatively high asset quality and capital adequacy of the commercial banks, while stress test results showed the banking system is able to weather economic slowdown.
