Financial News, reported by Jin Lixin - Recently, the Xinhua News Agency released in full text "Proposals of CPC Central Committee on Outlining National Economic and Social Development Plan for the 12th Five Years" (here after referred to as "Proposals"). At 10:00, November 2, director of National Development and Reform Commission Zhang Ping said in the press conference of the State Council Information Office that NDRC was organizing the preparation of the "Outline" of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan". To better reflect public opinion, pool their wisdom, and with the approval of the State Council, NDRC decided to launch "Drawing Up A Blue Print Together—Offering Advice and Suggestions for the ’Twelfth Five-Year’ Plan", during which people were welcomed to offer their advice and suggestions. The same day, China Minsheng Banking Co., Ltd. submitted "Advice on Strengthening Policy Support for SMEs in the ’Twelfth Five-Year’ Plan", becoming the first organization to offer suggestions to the "Twelfth Five-Year" Plan.
CMBC held that for the first time the "Proposals" placed "consumption" in the first place in promoting economic development, which fully revealed that the central authorities had attached great importance to the expansion of domestic demand. As the new force in expanding consumption, SMEs would receive national policy support and get access to new development opportunities. Loans are the bottleneck for the development of small business. As a successful practitioner in small and micro-banking financial services, CMBC offers suggestions from seven aspects for policy encouragement of banks in vigorously carrying out financial services for SMEs and support the healthy development of SMEs.
First, relax the account-opening conditions of small business, provide fast channels for small business account-opening procedures, create a more relaxed legal environment for its financing, and allow banks to provide financial services.
Second, as for the management of the credit scale, CMBC suggests to break the traditional assets and liability management ideas, further relax or remove by phases credit scale limit of medium-and-small-sized enterprises, create for them relatively loose monetary policy environment, and even introduce some incentives to encourage banks to provide credit services for small businesses.
Third, as for tax policy, CMBC suggests to reduce or remit business tax for medium and small business credit that meets the issuing conditions of financial institutions, strengthen supporting policies for the extraction of the reserve and pre-tax deductions of compensation for losses, further reduce the operating pressure on commercial banks, and promote credit services for small and medium business.
