2、n. 1 国有商业银行在市场化转型中已经取得重大进展。新增贷款质量明显好转，存量信贷结构有所优化，机构、人员得到精简，技术与业务创新能力增强，国际化经营步伐加快，资产质量出现了实质性好转，经营效益连创历史最好水平，与国际商业银行的差距正在不断缩小。 / 伴随着中国经济从计划经济向市场经济的转变，国有商业银行在发展过程中也遇到了一些亟待解决的问题。主要是资产质量不高，财务包袱较重，业务结构和收益结构不 尽合理，内部经营管理机制还不健全，创新能力不足。 / 这些问题的存在具有深刻的历史、体制原因：首先银行承担了经济转轨的成本。由于中国社会资金配置方式始终以银行间接融资为主，资本市场发育相对滞后，而
3、信贷手段过度运用。企业资本金不足、资产负债比例高，转轨中形成的企业破产损失和市场退出等巨大的转型成本，反映为银行现行或潜在的不良贷款。 /此外，政府过去曾对信贷干预过多，对商业银行实行超额分配，加之社会信用观念淡薄等也是产生问题的重要原因。从银行自身看，国有银行存在的体制陈旧、管理薄弱、机制落后也是根源之一 。 / 但我对中国商业银行的未来充满信心。面对挑战，中国商业银行完全具有克服目前困难的条件和能力。 / 首先，中国政府高度重视商业银行的发展，先后对国有商业银行采取了增拨2700亿元资本金、剥离 13000多亿元不良资产等重要措施，最近召开的全国金融工作会议又对国有商业银行综合改革作了部署
4、。政府的重视为商业银行的健康发展提供了重要保证。 / 其次，中国经济的持续强劲增长是中国商业银行发展的重要基础和条件。纵观世界各国，我认为，银行体系与经济发展之间有两种情形：一种是银行体系不健全，经济 增长同时也遇到困难，解决银行体系的问题就比较麻烦；另一种是银行体系不健全，但经济增长强劲有力，则有利于化解银行体系的风险。中国恰恰属于后者。/ 对中国银行、保险、证券业进行国际比较，从规模实力看，仅中国的银行也比较具备成为国际大银行的条件。这是中国金融业竞争力的重要体现。如果剔除大量提取拔备、核销历史上造成的坏账及财务损失，中国商业银行的盈利能力还是不错的。 /以工商银行为例。 2001年实现提
5、取拔备前的利润 340亿元，比上年增长255%；今年一季度提取拔备前利润比去年同期又增长 50%。这说明了中 国商业银行具备了自身化解风险的能力。按现有的发展趋势看，通过 5年的努力，将工商银行的不良贷款率降到一位数是可能的。 / (中国工商银行行长姜建清先生在 2002年博鳌论坛上的发言 “WTO背景下的国有商业银行改革 ”) 2 为了成为国际一流的商业银行，今后国有商业银行必须围绕以下两个重点加快综合改革：一是进行产权制度改革，通过建立多元化股权结构，实现所有权与经营权的分离，建立起法人治理结构和现代银行制度。二是推进银行内部机制改革，强化内部管理，建立创新和激励机制，提高核心竞争力。具体
6、包括： / 加快体制创新。计划用 5年左右时间，将不良贷款压缩到 10%以内，消化财务包袱，改造成为上市的股份制银行。 / 确保新增贷款质量良好，加快存量贷款结构调整。我可以很高兴地告诉大家，工商银行住房按揭贷款余额已经超过 2000亿元，成为中国最大的按揭银行。/ 加快技术创新、管理创新和金融业创新。包括建立综合业务系统、计算机集中工程、数据仓库建设等重点科技工程，搭建具有国际银行业先进水平的金融信息技术平台 / 参加 WTO对中国商业银行是挑战也是机遇。我们具有规模、网络、客 户基础等本土化优势，加上正在进行的对银行的根本性改造，使中国商业银行屹立于世界优秀银行之林是完全可能的，我们的竞争
