BEIJING -(Dow Jones)- China Construction Bank Corp. (0939.HK) said Monday the country's banking regulator is considering tightening capital requirements for lenders next year, and CCB is closely monitoring the situation.
CCB spokesman Hu Changmiao told Dow Jones Newswires the China Banking Regulatory Commission may raise the capital adequacy requirement for banks from the current 10%, though detailed rules have not been issued yet. The CBRC ordered banks to raise their capital adequacy to 10% form 8% at the end of last year.
The regulator has repeatedly warned of possible risks arising from the explosive growth in lending earlier this year.
=> in long term, the tighten of lending is a must and it will help the economy to grow more stablely and healthy.
=> capital adequacy rise from 8% to 10%, to me is more like a requirement to be in line with international standard instead of the bank really lack of capital.
