Despite the challenges, the domestic economy and society maintained sustainable and healthy growth under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, with General Secretary Xi Jinping as the core. Coupled with the significant milestone in reform and opening-up, these achievements took China a step closer to build a moderately well-off society in an all-round way. As for the financial sector, major progress was made in preventing and mitigating financial risks while the financial institutions continued to improve the quality and efficiency of their service for the real economy. On the backdrop of increasing risks and challenges in the macro-economy and financial systems, rising operating difficulties and financial pressures of the non-state-owned enterprises (“NSOEs”) and small and micro enterprises, the adjustments to the operation strategies and business deployment of manufacturing enterprises due to the uncertainties arising from Sino-US trade frictions, and the substantial price fluctuations of financial products in various financial markets in 2019, China Minsheng Bank continued its pursuit of reform and transformation
