Some time in the coming months, China Huarong Asset Management, set up in 1999 to deal with the bad debts of Industrial & Commercial Bank of China before its listing, will go public, following the example in 2013 of China Cinda, the corresponding bad debt arm of China Construction Bank. At the Boao Forum in China at the end of March, Lai Xiaomin, head of Huarong, described it as “the unsung hero” of the financial system, which helped to stabilise banks’ balance sheets by taking their troubled exposures.
在未來幾個月的某個時間,中國華融資產管理公司(China Huarong Asset Management)將效仿2013年中國信達(China Cinda)上市的先例,進行首次公開募股。華融成立于1999年,負責處理中國工商銀行(ICBC)上市前的壞賬。信達當初則是負責處理中國建設銀行(CCB)的壞賬。在3月底召開的中國博鰲論壇(Boao Forum)上,華融掌門人賴小民把該公司形容為中國金融體系的“無名英雄”,因為它接收了銀行的問題敞口,幫助它們穩定了資產負債表。
