Notice on further increasing the support for the loan deferred repayment of principal and interest for small and micro enterprises

YF [2022] No. 252

   Since 2020, in accordance with the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, the people's Bank of China and other departments have introduced and implemented a phased deferred repayment policy for loans to small and medium-sized and micro enterprises, effectively alleviating the pressure on capital turnover of small and medium-sized enterprises. In order to further increase the support for small and micro enterprises and other market entities, and thoroughly implement the package of policies and continuation policies for stabilizing the economy, banking financial institutions are encouraged to negotiate with enterprises to postpone the repayment of principal and interest in accordance with the principle of marketization for loans due to small and micro enterprises in the fourth quarter of 2022. The relevant matters are hereby notified as follows:

1、 We will adhere to the principles of marketization and legalization, and actively support qualified small and micro enterprises to delay the repayment of principal and interest

   (1) Reasonably determine the loan extension and repayment arrangements. For loans to small and micro enterprises due in the fourth quarter of 2022 and temporarily in trouble due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic (including business loans for individual business households and small and micro enterprise owners, the same below), financial institutions of the banking industry and borrowers are encouraged to negotiate jointly to postpone the repayment of principal and interest in accordance with the market-oriented principle, and the deferred loans shall be subject to normal interest calculation without penalty interest. In principle, the longest repayment date can be extended to June 30, 2023. Each banking financial institution shall reasonably determine the maturity date and interest settlement method of the extended loan according to the borrower's production cycle and fund withdrawal cycle, so as to avoid centralized maturity.

   (2) We will implement the risk classification regulations for deferred loans. All banking financial institutions should adhere to the substantive risk judgment, timely adjust the credit management system, do not reduce the loan risk classification due to epidemic factors alone, and do not affect the credit reporting records.

  (3) establish and improve the system of due diligence and exemption. All banking financial institutions should improve the provisions on the exemption of due diligence related to the loan deferred repayment of principal and interest, and enhance the operability. On the premise of effective prevention of moral hazard, the non-performing loans formed by loan extension of grassroots credit personnel shall be exempted from all or part of the responsibility.

   (4) Improve the guarantee system arrangement in time. If the extended loan involves guarantee, all banking financial institutions shall negotiate with enterprises and guarantors to maintain effective guarantee arrangement or provide alternative arrangement according to commercial principles.

2、 Continuously improve the accuracy of financial supply to better meet the demand of small and micro enterprises for loan extension

    (5) Innovation of extended loan products and services. According to the characteristics of small and micro enterprises' industries and transaction scenarios, all banking financial institutions should provide differentiated loan extension methods, promote active credit, loan with loan and repayment mode and online loan renewal products, so as to meet the flexible demand of small and micro enterprises. Financial institutions in the banking sector should be encouraged to appropriately delegate the approval authority of loan extension, so as to improve the efficiency of approval.
   (6) Strengthen financial technology empowerment. Financial institutions in the banking industry are encouraged to use modern information technology such as big data to improve the level of enterprise rating and risk control, and accurately identify high-quality customers. For the small and micro enterprises that meet the conditions for deferred repayment of principal and interest, they should take the initiative to connect with the delay demand of enterprises in the form of SMS and wechat. It is encouraged to provide online loan extension channels for borrowers through electronic channels such as online banking, mobile banking and mobile client application software (APP). On the premise of effective risk prevention and control, the loan extension application which lacks some materials can be "handled with tolerance" and supplemented afterwards.
   (7) Actively meet the new financing needs of small and micro enterprises. All banking financial institutions should timely find out the new financing needs of small and micro enterprises, improve internal policy arrangements such as due diligence and exemption, internal fund transfer pricing, performance appraisal, etc., optimize the loan approval process, and timely and efficiently increase the credit supply of small and micro enterprises.

Third, improve supporting policies to provide support for loan extension of banking financial institutions

   8) We will increase financial support for banking financial institutions. The people's Bank of China has made comprehensive use of a variety of monetary policy tools to maintain a reasonable and sufficient liquidity of the banking system for the liquidity problems arising from the implementation of the policy of deferred repayment of principal and interest. We will continue to give full play to the role of supporting tools for inclusive small and micro loans, and support the steady growth of inclusive small and micro loans, including deferred loans. Financial institutions in the banking industry are encouraged to activate the existing credit resources through securitization of credit assets on the premise of compliance with the law and controllable risks. We will continue to support banking financial institutions in issuing financial bonds for small and micro enterprises, and strictly regulate the use and management of raised funds.

   (9) Give full play to the leading role of differentiated financial regulatory policies. The financial regulatory authorities should implement differentiated policies such as the tolerance of non-performing loans of small and micro enterprises. Guide the banking financial institutions to give priority to the verification plan of non-performing loans of small and micro enterprises to ensure that they should be fully checked. We should make good use of disposal means such as batch transfer, asset securitization, restructuring and transformation, and improve the disposal efficiency of non-performing loans of small and micro enterprises.

   (10) Improve the performance appraisal and risk mitigation mechanism. Financial departments at all levels should fully consider the impact of the policy of deferred repayment of principal and interest when assessing the operating performance of state-owned holding and shareholding banking financial institutions in 2022, and give reasonable adjustment and evaluation. Government financing guarantee institutions are encouraged to extend the guarantee period for enterprises with loan extension demand and continue to provide credit enhancement support. We will support the establishment of loan risk compensation funds for small and micro enterprises in areas where conditions permit, so as to provide risk sharing for the implementation of the policy of deferred repayment of principal and interest by banking financial institutions.

Fourth, strengthen the tracking of policy implementation effect, and promote the policy directly to small and micro enterprises and other market entities

All banking financial institutions should effectively improve their political position, implement the main responsibility, take the initiative to sink services, understand the real operating conditions of borrowers through multiple channels, and provide corresponding loan extension services, so as to avoid blindly limiting loans, withdrawing loans and breaking loans. Make full use of business outlets, portals, mobile app, wechat public number and other channels to carry out policy publicity and interpretation, expand the awareness and coverage of the policy, timely publicize the processing conditions, required materials, processing procedures and processing time limit, and improve the convenience of small and micro enterprises in handling loan extension. The people's Bank of China will, together with the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (CIRC), conduct regular monitoring on the business of loan deferred repayment of principal and interest of various banking financial institutions.
All branches of the people's Bank of China, all branches of the CIRC, financial departments at all levels, development and reform departments, competent departments of small and medium-sized enterprises and market supervision departments should strengthen coordination, strengthen policy transmission, summarize and promote typical experiences and practices in a timely manner, and improve the service capacity of small and micro enterprises of banking financial institutions within their jurisdiction. All branches of the people's Bank of China shall, together with the branches of the CIRC, pay close attention to the maturity of extended loans and changes in the quality of credit assets within their jurisdiction, strengthen the prevention and control of credit risks, and ensure the effectiveness of the policies.
