探路中小金融机构改革促进区域经济高质量发展

Core Viewpoint - The reform and risk management of small and medium-sized banks in Ningxia serve as a model for national financial reform, focusing on enhancing financial stability and supporting local economic development during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period [1][2][3]. Group 1: Financial Reform and Risk Management - The "14th Five-Year Plan" emphasizes the importance of preventing and resolving financial risks, particularly for small and medium-sized banks, with a focus on tailored strategies for different regions [2][3]. - The total scale of capital and provisions in the industry has exceeded 50 trillion yuan, with a more than 40% increase in the disposal of non-performing assets compared to the previous five-year period [2]. - The number of high-risk small and medium-sized banks has significantly decreased from its peak, with some provinces achieving a "dynamic zero" for high-risk institutions [2]. Group 2: Case Study of Shizuishan Bank - Shizuishan Bank faced challenges such as rising credit risks and capital replenishment pressures but has made progress through a reform path that includes enhanced supervision and collaboration with stakeholders [4][5]. - The bank has implemented a dual approach to capital replenishment, combining internal and external sources, and has developed a structured management mechanism for large-risk clients [4][5]. - The bank's governance has been improved by increasing the number of independent directors and establishing a comprehensive compliance management framework [7]. Group 3: Case Study of Helan Huishang Village Bank - The reform of Helan Huishang Village Bank involved its acquisition by Ningxia Bank and transformation into a branch, which was more complex than typical village bank mergers [8][9]. - The reform process included cross-provincial coordination and the establishment of a working mechanism to ensure effective risk management and service capability enhancement [9]. - Following the merger, the new branch has seen significant growth in asset scale and has diversified its product offerings, enhancing customer service experiences [10][11]. Group 4: Future Outlook - The practices of Shizuishan Bank and Helan Huishang Village Bank exemplify Ningxia's efforts to deepen financial reform and maintain risk control, aiming to reshape the financial ecosystem and refocus on serving the real economy [11]. - The ongoing reforms are expected to lead to further specialization and differentiation in the development of small and medium-sized banks, with a focus on technology finance, green finance, and inclusive finance [11].
