China's Wenzhou expects substantial financial reforms (2)

Setting up the lending registration center was one of the steps to solve the financing problems for SMEs.

By Monday, Wenzhou had set up four centers with loans registered for lending hitting 1.4 billion yuan, of which 420 million yuan have found borrowers.

In addition, four private capital management companies have provided financial support of 423 million yuan for more than 100 projects since the reforms began.

"The centers have played a positive role in restoring people's confidence, as the crisis in 2011 made some people unwilling to lend money. The centers serve as new channels for those who want to borrow from others," said Xu.

However, many businessmen were unsatisfied with the slow progress of Wenzhou's financial reforms.

Yang Jiaxing, a 67-year-old businessman in Wenzhou, had planned to establish a private bank with his friends as he thought he would be allowed to do so due to the financial reforms.

Yet his application was turned down, because under the regulations, private enterprises can not apply in setting up banking institutions.

"No breakthroughs have been made in the establishment of private banks and the drafting of the regulation for a private lending market," said Zhou Dewen, chairman of the Wenzhou SME Development Association.
