China's Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) warned trust firms of the risks involved in their property-related businesses and urged them to start self-examinations in a bid to tighten management in the sector, Shanghai Securities News reported Thursday.
According to the notification, local banking regulatory bureaus are also responsible for urging trust companies to be cautious when picking candidates and expanding their property-related businesses
One CBRC representative noted that trust firms' property-related businesses have been closely monitored by the commission. CBRC will actively implement national real estate control measures and strengthen supervision over such businesses based on the country's macro policies and economic development.
Retures said the China Banking Regulatory Commission instructed trust firms to assess the risks posed by their portfolios in November in a move to rein in the red-hot property market. Since then, some local trust companies have halted property-related loans.
