M&A loans could be double-edged sword: CBRC
Adjust font size:

Chinese banks extended 13.6 billion yuan (US$1.99 billion), as well as US$420 million worth of loans for mergers and acquisitions (M&A) since the end of last Monday, a senior official with the national banking regulator said on June 23.

Cai Esheng, vice chairman of the China Banking Regulatory Commission, told a forum on M&A that the loans would support domestic and foreign deals worth 42 billion yuan and US$840 million in all.

He also warned that such loans could pose a risk, if M&A funding grew too fast. At the same time, he said, there were benefits.

"Acquisition loans would facilitate industrial upgrading, acquisitions in different industries and economic structure transformation."

China lifted restrictions on such loans at the end of last year. The loans described by Cai covered industries including steel, power, mining, machinery manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and telecommunications.
