Challenges and Prospects

The year 2010 will be a very critical year for CDB¡¯s reform and development, and a year witness- ing rising operation pressure under tighter constraints which could stem from the credit-worthiness of debtors, the scale of loans, capitals and a pressing need in risk prevention. These difficulties and constraints are all manifestations of the exploratory, practical and arduous endeavors of CDB at the current stage. We will understand these difficulties correctly, analyze them objectively, take calm action in response, and make all-out efforts to forge CDB into a responsible bank.
