Everbright system in the vortex of anti-corruption

Securities Times · securities company Chinese reporter found that since 2021, four executives of the “Everbright Department” have been double opened, and three cadres are still under investigation.
Among them, Zhou Jiangtao, former president of China Everbright Bank Company Limited Co.Ltd(601818) Nanning branch and Chen Peng, former general manager of Everbright urban and rural environmental protection Co., Ltd., which were previously checked on the same day, were also double opened on November 5, 2021. According to the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, both of them were found to abuse their power for personal gain in loan approval, “eat the line by the line” and “eat the enterprise by the enterprise”. It is worth noting that the two had worked together in China Everbright Bank Company Limited Co.Ltd(601818) Xi’an Branch for 9 years.
In March 2021, Zhu Huimin, former chairman of Everbright industry, and Huang Zhiyang, former deputy general manager, were also expelled from the party and public office. At that time, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection pointed out that Zhu Huimin regarded the power of loan approval, investment and financing as a chip for personal gain; Huang Zhiyang acted as a broker for illegal businessmen and engaged in power and money transactions.
Zou Jianxu, then deputy general manager of China Zheshang Bank Co.Ltd(601916) capital market department and former vice president of China Everbright Bank Company Limited Co.Ltd(601818) Shenzhen Branch, was also investigated with Zhu Huimin. They worked together in China Everbright Bank Company Limited Co.Ltd(601818) Shenzhen Branch for 7 years.

Corruption in credit approval is the common feature of most bank cadres. “At present, China’s financing structure is dominated by indirect financing, and most of the enterprise funds come from bank loans. Bank credit, as the main channel for fund provision, is a typical field of resource enrichment and power concentration, and cadres are vulnerable to ‘hunting’.” A recent article on the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection pointed out that.
“There are not only their personal subjective factors, but also some corresponding subject responsibilities and supervision responsibilities that have not been effectively implemented.” When talking about why bank executives often have serious corruption cases, senior banking institutions pointed out to reporters that in addition to problems in personal ideological consciousness, we can not ignore some objective factors such as system and environment, such as defects in the system design of some institutions in the field of credit. At the same time, seeking personal gain by loan often requires collusion, left-right collusion and multi link cooperation.
