Michael Pettis, industry influencer, highlights growing challenges for Chinese banks as they are compelled to take on real estate assets that back defaulted property loans.
He indicates that this issue is particularly severe for smaller lenders, reducing their ability to provide loans to local businesses and homebuyers.
Pettis previously reported that China's regulator launched a pilot program in seven hubs to force unprofitable zombie companies out of the market. Separately, Brendan Greeley has highlighted the eurodollar market as a potential model for boosting the international use of CNY in finance. These developments come as banks adjust to mounting strain from property sector exposures.
