Besides customers in prioritised industries of agriculture, exports, supporting industries, small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and hi-tech businesses, the increase of lending limits must also focus on production and business, the central bank said.
Lending to risky industries must be restricted, the central bank said.

Besides this, the central bank also directed banking supervisory agencies to closely supervise post-lending to increase the lending quality and avoid risks.
"Banking supervisory agencies must closely inspect, supervise and assess the use of the loans and solvency possibility of the borrowers, especially those that are either State-owned enterprises or firms with large outstanding loans, to avoid new bad debts from arising," the central bank noted.
