BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s central bank said on Friday that it would step up evaluation of financial risks as the coronavirus has brought challenges to the economy and the country’s financial development.
It will adopt comprehensive measures to ramp up the disposal of non-performing loans, and deepen the reforms of small and medium-sized banks and work to replenish their capital, the People’s Bank of China said in a statement on its website.
