Mar 15 - CBRC Raises Loan-to-Deposit Ratio Target to Encourage Lending


Source: Netease, ChinaScope Financial (Data)
+       Sources say that the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) is increasing the 2012 loan-to-deposit ratio target for the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) to 63%. The targets for two other banks have also been raised, but these details were not disclosed.
+       China’s banking regulations limit bank lending to 75% of deposits. In 2011, the CBRC developed more detailed loan-to-deposit ratio restrictions for selected banks in order to control credit expansion.

To stimulate credit supply, CBRC has set a higher LDR target for state-owned banks
