			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-130" title="china-banking" src="http://darwin.ws/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/china-banking.jpg" alt="china-banking" width="250" height="210" />China banks may need to raise billions of dollars of assets in the next few years. Because, with the massive loan, the local banks became vulnerable to bad credit.</p>
<p>The few banks that has the potential to increase their capital, recorded more than 300 billion yuan (USD44 billion). They are the banks under regulatory pressure to improve its balance sheet.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hopefully the credit and balance sheet growth is expanding rapidly in 2009 and 2010. Bank may need to raise new capital to satisfy regulators as the higher capital adequacy ratio standard,&#8221; said BNP Paribas analyst Dorris Chen, as quoted by the AFP, Wednesday ( 25/11/2009).</p>
<p>Chen said that the 11 banks listed on Shanghai and Hong Kong may need to raise capital up to 326 billion yuan. China itself has set a number of the bank&#8217;s capital adequacy ratio of at least eight percent of them.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Citigroup analyst Simon Ho said, in his research that the small banks that registered in Shanghai may have to seek up to 113 billion yuan in 2011, which has announced plans to raise loans totaling 53 billion yuan.</p>
<p>&#8220;No (banking in Hong Kong are registered) are currently in need of new equity but maybe there is a need like that in two to three years ahead,&#8221; added Ho.</p>
<p>Ho added, the banks listed in China has a capital adequacy ratio of between 8.5 percent and 16.1 percent at the end of September. However, some banks had expressed no plans to raise capital immediately.</p>
<p>Banking in China this year government notes will improve the economy in the face of the global financial crisis. The new bank loans reached 7.4 trillion yuan (USD1, 1 trillion), in the first half of this year, is expected to be pumping the economy with the world&#8217;s third largest economy to fight global decline.</p>
<p>These measures slowed the regulatory control of the banks loans and improve risk management. While seasonal factors also play a role.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3337/3274955487_766014dab1_m.jpg" border="0" alt="Too Much Credit" hspace="5" width="240" height="180" />Banks to reduce overdraft charges, but there are other hidden costs. As part of the excitement generated by the bank fees charged to cardholders pay &#8211; and announced the imminent threat of the Action Congress &#8211; the banking giant Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo drastic changes in their crisis current credit. That bank customers may miss is that costs are the tip of the iceberg. Nickel and Dime banks to their customers in many other ways in which the average person could lose $ 100 or more per year. Adding insult to many well known and no charges were made independently take on the customer&#8217;s behavior.</p>
<p><span id="more-59"></span>&#8220;There is a long list of people, the fees are not recognized by the consumer,&#8221; said Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com. Here are five key areas of income concealed from the bank. Balance transfer banks in rights generally mails pitching low interest rates for customers who are willing balances from another credit transfer. What many do not advertise that there is a small charge for balance transfer 3% and 5 % fine print. &#8220;If you have a balance from one card to a 15% rate on a card with a transfer rate of 13% of them have, but you pay an entrance fee of 3 %, so you do not save money, &#8220;said McBride. The transition to a balance of $ 5,000 from a credit card to another with a slightly lower rate could result in a $ 150 balance you owe and add it to pay interest. If you are thinking of moving to a card with a lower interest rate, ask the bank what kind of transfer fee at cost. These fees are separate from the annual interest payment.</p>
<p>Consumers who use advance cash advance funds from their credit card will also go through a transaction fee that they would not have expected to be affected. As for balance transfers, cash advances often with a fee of 3% and 5%. That&#8217;s not all. &#8220;If cash advances are not expensive enough to interest young people in high interest rates and there is no grace period clock is ticking now,&#8221; said McBride.</p>
<p><strong>Currency surcharges.<br />
</strong>With a debit card or credit card to travel abroad is great to manage. May be useful. In recent years, as a general rule, banks have started charging a fee of 3% for purchases in foreign currencies. This means that if you buy go to Paris on holiday gifts and euros, the price shown on your statement in U.S. dollars is presented &#8211; with the 3% tax if you use a debit card or credit card built Abroad, they see the plan of an open account with Capital One or Charles Schwab, which costs money to run as low as 1%. If you have money at an ATM in another country, another place (take, where the ring provide additional bank charges), Wells Fargo and PNC are among the lowest costs.</p>
<p><strong>Balancing needs.<br />
</strong>Many banks also offer monthly service fee by check or savings accounts to customers as a group to set a minimum balance to maintain. Dip the bottom, and you can do with a fee of $ 8 or more each time you press the balance of your account is less than the minimum. &#8220;It really needs a losing record,&#8221; said McBride. &#8220;If you do not maintain balance, you arrive at a sum with socks. If you stop giving the possibility of stranding costs money with low performance if you can get higher returns are competitive have a savings account online.</p>
<p><strong>ATM Fees</strong><br />
Bank of America ATM fees other banks and their customers now $ 3 for the other banks can withdraw money from their ATMs. But in any case, you accept the charges at the terminal. What some people do not realize that their own bank charges often cost $ 2 each time they use the ATM of a competitor. If you add up all the bank charges, it costs $ 5 can buy $ 20 of your own money. This is a commission of 25%, and not bank on one thing.</p>
