Practice - Finance

The long-existing bottleneck in financing became more evident after the implementation of the latest macroeconomic directives set out by the central government at the beginning of 2007. The lack of capital has already affected and will continue to affect the pattern of financing in all kinds of industries. Enterprises cannot solely rely on banks for barrowing, as the government has since 2004 cracked down on irresponsible lending. Enterprises must now look for alternative financing methods other than bank lending and adopt a more diversified legal strategy, in order to take advantage of new innovative financing instruments including the expansion of the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets and the liberalization of private equity partnerships.
