CONCLUSIONS AND ISSUES GOING FORWARD: CREATING THE INCENTIVES AND INFRASTRUCTURE FOR BANKS TO OPERATE EFFICIENTLY""; ""- APPENDIX"" 330 3 $aSubstantial effort has been devoted to reforming China's banking system in recent years. The authorities recapitalized three large state-owned banks, introduced new governance structures, and brought in foreign strategic investors. However, it remains unclear the extent to which currently reported data reflect the true credit risk in loan portfolios and whether lending decisions have started to be taken on a commercial basis. We examine lending growth, credit pricing, and regional patterns in lending from 1997 through 2004 to look for evidence of changing behavior of the large state-owned commercial banks (SCBs). We find that the SCBs have slowed down credit expansion, but that the pricing of credit risk remains undifferentiated and banks do not appear to take enterprise profitability into account when making lending decisions. Controlling for several factors, we find that large SCBs have continued to lose market share to other financial institutions in provinces with more profitable enterprises. The full impact of the most recent reforms will become clear only in several years, however, and these issues should be revisited in future research. 410 0$aIMF working paper ;$vWP/06/71. 606 $aBanks and banking$xGovernment ownership$zChina 606 $aBanks and banking$xState supervision$zChina 606 $aBank loans$zChina 606 $aCredit$xManagement$zChina 606 $aCorporate governance$zChina 615 0$aBanks and banking$xGovernment ownership 615 0$aBanks and banking$xState supervision 615 0$aBank loans 615 0$aCredit$xManagement 615 0$aCorporate governance 700 $aPodpiera$b Richard$01603515 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund.$bMonetary and Financial Systems Dept. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826314103321 996 $aProgress in China?s Banking Sector Reform$94025935 997 $aUNINA
