    The Public Banks and People's Bank of China: Confronting

    Chapter 13 Godfrey Yeung THE PUBLIC BANKS AND PEOPLE’S BANK OF CHINA: CONFRONTING COVID-19 (IF NOT WITHOUT CONTROVERSY) he outbreak of Covid-19 in Wuhan and its subsequent dom- ino effects due to the lock-down in major cities have had a devastating effect on the Chinese economy. China is an Tinteresting case to illustrate what policy instruments the central bank can deploy through state-owned commercial banks (a form of ‘hybrid’ public banks) to buffer the economic shock during times of crisis. In addition to the standardized practice of liquidity injection into the banking system to maintain its financial viability, the Chi- nese central bank issued two top-down and explicit administra- tive directives to state-owned commercial banks: the minimum quota on lending to small- and medium-sized enterprises (MSEs) and non-profitable lending. Notwithstanding its controversy on loopholes related to such lending practices, these pro-active policy directives provide counter-cyclical lending and appear able to pro- vide short-term relief for SMEs from the Covid-19 shock in a timely manner. This has helped to mitigate the devastating impacts of the pandemic on the Chinese economy. 283 Godfrey Yeung INTRODUCTION The outbreak of Covid-19 leading to the lock-down in Wuhan on January 23, 2020 and the subsequent pandemic had significant im- pacts on the Chinese economy. China’s policy response regarding the banking system has helped to mitigate the devastating impacts of pandemic on the Chinese economy. Before we review the measures implemented by the Chinese gov- ernment, it is important for us to give a brief overview of the roles of two major group of actors (institutions) in the banking system.

    Inclusive Mobility: Improving the Accessibility

    Inclusive Mobility: Improving the Accessibility Public Disclosure Authorized of Road Infrastructure through Public Participation East Asia and Pacific Region Transport, This note describes a number of innovations taken by some Chinese cities, in particular Jinzhou, Liaoning Province, to ensure that urban transport systems are more accessible for the mobility-challenged. Public participation by disabled residents in Liaoning Province in northeast China has increased awareness and consideration for special needs in the design and implementation of road infrastructure. Jinzhou has convened a series of meetings inviting public participation on the issue of improving traffic infrastructure for use by disabled people. With the introduction of some low or no-cost features, the principle of “people first” for urban transport has Public Disclosure Authorized been put into practice. People with mobility impairments in cities around the world have long struggled to have their special needs accommodated in the design of urban infrastructure. The quality of life for citizens is reduced when they cannot take full advantage of roads, sidewalks and other transport facilities. Recently, significant progress has been made in the developed world to consider the needs of those with full or partial disabilities such as blindness and paralysis by implementing a number of features including textured pavements, curb cuts, safety islands, countdown and audible crossing signals. The World Bank has been working with various clients in China to identify ways to effectively introduce public participation in the infrastructure planning and implementation process. A structured Public Disclosure Authorized consultation process can help with particular needs, especially those of pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vulnerable road users that require special attention to detail and coordination between multiple agencies such as designers, builders, operators, maintenance, and law enforcement officials.
