Banks in China expect to see their revenue from inclusive finance grow by US$63.4 billion in 2020 and this increase is set to be the highest globally, according to an EY report today.
Inclusive finance is the provision of affordable Eli Apple Jersey , accessible and relevant financial products to individuals and businesses which had previously not been able to access them.
The report states that banks could focus on three measures to boost their financial inclusiveness: to customize offerings and simplify financial solutions to meet the specific needs of customers at affordable cost, to innovate channels to reach more customers at lower cost and to creatively mitigate risk to address absence of credit histories.
To boost commercial banks’ lending to small and micro-sized enterprises Wayne Gallman Jersey , startups and agricultural enterprises, the People's Bank of China announced last September a targeted reserve requirement ratio cut Davis Webb Jersey , which went into effect today.
EY identifies start-up community with access to diverse sources of capital as “an important enabler” to China’s inclusive finance sector.
The digital finance provided by China's leading Internet and mobile payment platforms have tremendously enhanced financial inclusion in emerging markets such as China, said Jack Chan Dalvin Tomlinson Jersey , EY’s China financial services managing partner.
EY sees “massive potential” for banks to provide greater credit to the agriculture industry as loans to the sector account for just 1 percent of the commercial banking credit portfolio.
Farmers’ access to conventional bank loans has been limited by a lack of credit data and consequently, many are forced to secure credit from “shadow banking” firms Evan Engram Jersey , the report noted.
Chinese banks could help close a financing gap of as high as 3 trillion yuan (US$441 billion) to the agricultural sector by developing creative credit profiling techniques, according to a report by Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in 2016.
MEXICO CITY， Aug. 2 (Xinhua) -- London broke the Olympic hosting record in 2012， when it held the Olympic Games for the third time， more than any other city.
Britain's capital had already hosted the games in 1908 and 1948， after the 1944 games were called off due to World War II.
With the 30th Olympic Games in 2012， London also set another precedent by setting out to host the world's most environmentally sustainable games.
To that end， the Olympic Park was erected on once-contaminated industrial land that was rehabilitated， the velodrome was built with sustainably-sourced timber and the Copper Box Arena constructed with recycled copper， according to the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
Additionally， venues were designed to collect rainwater and recycle waste， and the Olympic Village was within walking distance of the Olympic Park， eliminating the need for fuel-burning vehicles to shuttle athletes and officials back and forth.
"In recognition for its achievements， London 2012 won gold in the Environmental and Sustainability category of the 6th International Sports Event Management awards，" the IOC says.
The opening ceremony， directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Danny Boyle， was a memorable tour de force， as was the arrival of the Olympic torch， carried aloft by famed footballer David Beckham.
The torch lit an interactive Olympic Cauldron composed of 204 separate flames， one for each of the countries competing， that came together to form a single giant flame. When the games ended， each country was able to take a part of the cauldron home as a souvenir.
In all， 10，523 athletes took part in 302 disciplines and 26 different sports.
Women's boxing joined the roster of Olympic sports for the first time， as did mixed doubles in tennis and various cycling contests.
Athletes who stood out at the 2008 Beijing games， consolidated their legacies at the 2012 London games， including U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps， who snapped up four gold medals and two silver medals to add to the eight gold medals he won in China.
Jamaican runner Usain Bolt repeated the success of his Beijing races， winning gold in the 100- and 200-meter dash， and the 4x100 meter relay.
