At an Aug. 31, 2026 mid‑year results briefing, China Merchants Bank president
Wang Xiaoqing said the bank will prioritise short‑term operations to stabilise
its development base, with a core objective of stabilising net interest margin.
The bank will preserve its low‑cost funding advantage, steadily strengthen
asset‑side risk‑pricing, expand non‑interest income by unlocking subsidiaries’
operating potential, and pursue capital‑market opportunities by deepening wealth
management and financial‑markets businesses to lift segment contribution. It
will closely monitor early and directional signs of asset‑quality deterioration,
prioritising prevention and resolution of risks in retail lending and vacant
property.
