As China began its economic reforms in the late 1970s and made a
transition from planned to a market economy, corporate governance
of the banking sector became an increasingly pressing issue.
Further, in the aftermath of the Asian Financial Crises in the late
1990s, Chinese authorities became acutely aware of the importance
of corporate governance to ensure that their banking system would
not suffer similar fates to those of other Asian countries. This
book examines corporate governance in city commercial banks, which
are the main source of loans to the dynamic small and medium
enterprises that are crucial to the development of China's economy.
By the end of 2008, there were 136 city commercial banks in China,
13 of which had foreign partners, and this book clearly
demonstrates the positive effect of these foreign partnerships on
corporate governance practices, in addition to financial
performance. With evidence from extensive interviews with 10 city
commercial banks in China, Michael Tan explores the different
models of corporate governance, and in turn, asks which model is
most suitable to China, how are Chinese authorities overcoming
problems with corporate governance, and how do these problems
compare with those in other transition economies? Whilst the
primary focus of this study is on China's city commercial banks,
there are lessons that apply much more broadly to the industry and
it therefore will be invaluable to foreign banking institutions
wishing to invest in China. This book will also be of great appeal
to students and scholars of Chinese business and economics,
corporate governance and banking.
