銀監會再批覆五家民營銀行 累計批籌16家

China's banking regulator last Tuesday gave approval to five new private banks, bringing the total number of private lenders to 16.

中國銀行監管機構上週二批准了五家新的民營銀行，這使得民營銀行的總數達到了16家。

The five banks will be in Beijing, Jiangsu, Jilin, Liaoning and Shandong, according to the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC)website.

根據中國銀行業監督管理委員會網站表示，這五家銀行將分別位於北京，江蘇，吉林，遼寧和山東。

Each of the banks will be co-sponsored by at least two private capital providers.

每家銀行至少需要兩個私人資本贊助者聯合贊助。

Notably, two of them will be headquartered in China's northeast rustbelt region -- Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces -- a traditional industrial base bearing the brunt of the country's economic slow down.

值得注意的是，其中的兩家將把總部設在中國東北部工業衰退地區--遼寧，吉林和黑龍江省--這是一個承受了中國經濟衰退衝擊的傳統工業基地。

A document issued by the State Council last month to rejuvenate the northeast and stabilize its economy said at least one private bank should be set up in the region by the end of June.

國務院上月發佈的振興東北、穩定經濟的文件稱，在今年6月底前，該地區應該至少建立起一家民營銀行。

In 2014, China approved a pilot scheme setting up five private banks to give private capital a bigger role in the country's financial system.

2014年，中國批准了一項試點計劃設立五家民營銀行，這使得私人資本在國家金融系統中發揮更大的作用。

The new private lenders are expected to boost financial support for smaller firms, as the state-owned lenders usually favor state-owned enterprises.

這些新的民營銀行預計將爲小型企業提供財政支持，因爲通常國有銀行更傾向於國有企業。
