He said that with the gradual development of China's market economy, social community demands for banks have developed from capital only to comprehensive financial services, and banking competition has been progressing toward intermediate banking businesses. Over the past few years, he said, the CCB has made great efforts in developing agent services for securities and insurance industries, as well as financial services such as capital clearing and fund entrust. So far all of the CCB's branches and over 20,000 business outlets throughout the country have opened capital remittance businesses, and the fast development of its on-line banking also supported business development. |
