The project was the fourth line-of-credit to the China Investment Bank (CIB), a state-owned development finance institution providing finance for the restructuring and technological upgrading of industrial enterprises. Its main objectives were to increase the productivity and efficiency of small- and medium-scale industries and strengthen the institutional capabilities of CIB. The project was implemented successfully, although with some delays due to a slow down in investment activity following the Tiannanmen Square incident of June 1989. The line-of-credit supported 228 subloans for the modernization and expansion of mainly state- owned enterprises. An ex-post evaluation of the financial and technical performance of these subprojects has not be carried out. But the low, albeit increasing, level of CIB's arrears suggests that the financial performance of most is satisfactory. The technical assistance component helped improve the CIB's project appraisal capabilities, but was less effective in strengthening its monitoring activities. The project outcome is rated as marginally satisfactory. Institutional development is rated as modest and sustainability as uncertain. The PCR is satisfactory. However, it does not provide an adequate sectoral background against which issues of project relevance and efficacy can be carefully judged. At the time the PCR was prepared, the future status of the CIB was uncertain. The CIB had proposed that it be converted into a commercial bank, whereas the Government's idea was to consolidate CIB into the operations of the People's Construction Bank of China. More recently, the decision was taken to establish the CIB as a fully-owned subsidiary of the People's Construction Bank of China, but the corporate structure and degree of autonomy that CIB will have under the new arrangement is not yet known. A cluster audit of this and the follow-on project - the Fifth Industrial Credit Project (Loan 3075- CHA, approved in FY89) is planned. The audit would attempt to analyze the performance of subprojects and the sustainability and performance of CIB under its new organizational set-up.

The Project was closed on June 30, 1993, 12 months behind schedule. The Loan and Credit were fully disbursed and the last disbursement was on October 13, 1993. The PCR (Preface, Evaluation Summary, Parts I and III) was prepared by the Industry and Energy Operations Division, China and Mongolia Department. The Bank received Part II from the Borrower in January 1994 for inclusion in the PCR. Preparation of the PCR was started during a supervision mission of the Project in March 1993 and followed by a PCR mission in April 1994. The PCR is based the President's Report, Staff Appraisal Report, Loan Credit and Project Agreements, Supervision Reports, Bank's Disbursement Summaries, and draft PCR prepared by the Borrower as well as progress reports and audited financial statement of the China Investment Bank.  I~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  - iii - PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT CHINA FOURTH INDUSTRIAL CREDIT PROJECT (CIB IV) (LOAN 2783-CHA/CREDIT 1763-CHA) EVALUATION SUMMARY 1. Objectives. The Fourth Industrial Credit Project (CIB IV) was the fourth of a series of five credit projects to the China Investment Bank (CIB). It was intended to continue to assist the Government of China (GOC) to promote technology upgrading and modernization of the light industry sector as well as the further institutional development of CIB; CIB was also expected to initiate diversification of its sources of funds and products/services and develop into an autonomous, efficient and viable financial intermediary in industrial finance. The Project had two components: a credit line to CIB of $299.3 million and a technical assistance component of $0.7 million. The Project was approved on March 3, 1987, the legal documents signed on March 16, 1987 and became effective on June 22, 1987 within the scheduled date. 2. Implementation Experience. The Project was implemented successfully despite some difficulties and both Loan and Credit were fully disbursed. The Closing Date was extended by one year which was necessitated mainly by the slack in investment activities following the Tiananmen Square incident of June 1989. Under the Project, improvement in CIB's efforts to diversify its sources of funds and products/services was notable in terms of local currency deposit base and working capital financing; in terms of long-term operations, the improvement was marginal. CIB's arrears have been a growing concern and needs to be tackled as early as possible to prevent a financially unsustainable situation. The issue of the future role of CIB within the changing environment in the financial sector in China remains important. CIB has itself proposed to become a full- fledged commercial bank, but this has remained unresolved for sometime. On the contrary, it has been proposed recently that CIB be consolidated into PCBC. In line with GOC's reform policies for the financial sector which promote competition and market- oriented operations, the Bank believes that the original objective of establishing a relatively small but efficient and viable CIB is still valid and achievable but only with adequate support and commitment from GOC, PBC and other related agencies as well as strong leadership and competent management. Attainment of the objectives under the Project (as well as previous Bank industrial credit projects) and the sustainability of CIB now depends on the resolution of its future role and indeed, on its very existence as a separate and independent financial institution. 3. Findings and Lessons. Together with GOC and PCBC, the Bank was instrumental in the establishment of CIB which was the first of many new financial  - iv - institutions to emerge in China during the early 1980s. Bank's financing through CIB has made available foreign exchange resources for the much needed technical renovation projects in the light industry sector. Under the Project, the Bark has helped CIB towards achieving its objectives: (a) the Bank contributed significantly in developing CIB's project appraisal capacity not only through CIB's appraisal manual which is now extensively used throughout China but also in terms of continuing training and feedback advice during supervision and subproject reviews; (b) with encouragement from the Bank to diversify its sources of funds, CIB has developed a reasonably successful deposit base for short-term local currency resources; (c) CIB has developed a sizable branch network, albeit with the support and assistance from PCBC and with the Bank's urging, most of these branches now have full-time presidents; and (d) under the Bank's guidance and technical assistance funding, CIB has developed a core staff which are well-trained and experienced in project finance. At the same time, there are still a number of aspects in which the Bank should continue to assist CIB's improvement, e.g., project/loan supervision and collection, corporate and financial planning, mobilization of long-term resources, And overall assets and liabilities management. 4. Under the CIB IV and other Bank projects with CIB, some of the lessons which may be learned would include the following. First, in establishing new financial institutions, there needs to be not only full commitment, support and clear ownership from the GOC as implementing agency but also a clear understanding and agreement on the long-term objectives of such institutions. In retrospect, there really was no full agreement on the long-term objectives for CIB. CIB was always considered by GOC merely as a way to channel Bank funds through the leadership of PCBC, thus the apparent lack of support for its development as an independent financial institution. The Bank could have accepted this much earlier in its relationship with CIB and pursued more aggressively a clear agreement and a more permanent solution to CIB's independence and long-term role. 5. Second, although the Bank has consistently emphasized the importance of project supervision and collection, there were perhaps inadequate programs for training and project requirements for appropriate organization and procedures for the activities under the Bank project. Furthermore, it was only after the fifth CIB Project (Loan 3075-CHA) that specific performance indicators such as collection ratios, were included in the design of CIB projects. These indicators would have been useful, effective tools and an incentive for the Bank to monitor and for CIB to develop its project supervision and financial performance which are key to its long-term viability. For example, under CIB V, without the specific targets agreed for the provisions for doubtful debts, CIB would not have been allowed to build such reserves. 6. Third, CIB's diversification of resources should have been pursued more aggressively. Specific targets as adopted under CIB V could have been initiated earlier under the Project. Furthermore, the slow implementation and unclear direction of reforms in the financial sector during the Project implementation greatly influenced CIB's overall development and performance. For sometime, CIB had virtually no competition for Bank funds and other suitable financial institutions could have been involved earlier in Bank projects.  PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT CHINA FOURTH INDUSTRIAL CREDIT PROJECT (CIB IV) (LOAN 2783-CHA/CREDIT 1763-CHA) PART I: PROJECT REVIEW FROM THE BANK'S PERSPECTIVE Project Identity 1. Project Name Fourth Industrial Credit Project (China Investment Bank, CIB) Loan/Credit Number Loan 2783-CHA/Credit 1763-CHA RVP Unit East Asia and Pacific Region Country China Sector : Industry and Finance Subsector Financial Intermediary Background 2. In December 1981, the China Investment Bank (CIB) was established through a special charter approved by the State Council and was one of the first new institutions in what was expected to be an increasingly competitive and efficient financial system in China. At the time the CIB IV was approved in early 1987, the Bank had already provided $345.6 million in three credit lines to CIB. These three industrial credit projects I/ were to basically assist in the institutional development of CIB as it provided assistance, mainly foreign exchange financing, for the restructuring and technical upgrading of light industrial enterprises. CIB IV (the subject of this PCR) for $300 million and CIB V for another $300 million,2/ were to follow in 1987 and 1989, respectively, to continue on the development of CIB as an autonomous, efficient, viable and sound financial intermediary in industry finance. Because of the expertise it has acquired in project financing and appraisal, CIB also became an active participant (as financial intermediary or financial agent) in relending Bank funds in several provincial and sector projects, e.g., two projects in Tianjin in 1989 and 1993, Shanghai Industrial Development Project in 1991, Rural Industrial Technology Project (SPARK) in 1990, Beijing Environment Project 1/ Project Performance Audit Report, China - China Investment Bank (Loans 2226, 2434, 2659-CHA and Credits 1313, 1491, 1663-CHA), Report No. 9945 dated October 3, 1991. 2/ Under implementation but is fully committed; closing date is December 31, 1994.  - 2 - in 1992, Medium Cities Project in 1992, Southern Jiangsu Environment Project in 1993 and more recently in ODS II Project in 1993. These projects involve Bank funds amounting to $2,070 million; loans in which CIB would absorb the full credit risks amount to about $1,215 million or 60 percent, the balance would be on a financial agency basis, i.e., no credit risk to CIB. 3. This PCR covers CIB IV (the Project). It describes the objectives, components, and main features of the Project and Bank Loan/ Credit, reviews CIB's performance on project implementation and provides institutional, financial, and operational background on CIB as well as the results of project specific analyses, and highlights some of the conclusions and lessons learned from the Project. Project Objectives and Description 4. The basic objective 3! of the Project was to assist the Government of China (GOC) to promote and implement technology upgrading and modernization in industry, to build up sound procedures and competent staff for project appraisal and investment financing, and to improve financial intermediation practices. The project would also further strengthen the influence of CIB in the decision making process of concerned government agencies and industrial enterprises relating to industrial investment. Specifically, the Project was to continue financing high priority industrial investments through CIB and assistance to the institutional development of CIB so that it could operate efficiently and become a model and catalyst in the ongoing reforms of the investment design and selection system in China. CIB was also expected to diversify its sources of financing by raising resources from international and domestic capital markets. The Project had two major components: a credit line of $299.3 million and $0.7 million in technical assistance to support the training of CIB staff. 5. Main Features of the Bank Loan/IDA Credit. Similar to previoul projects with CIB, the People's Republic of China (PRC) was the borrower of the Bank Loan and IDA Credit. The proceeds were relent to CIB for 20 yeai s including a grace period of five years with CIB being allowed to rollover the funds. CIB's subloans would normally not extend beyond seven years but the longest maturity should in no case exceed twelve years. Similar to CIB I through III, the GOC will charge CIB a fixed interest rate 7 percent and GOC will absorb the variable interest rate risks. CIB's obligations to GOC and CIB's subloans will be denominated in US Dollars with GOC absorbing the foreign exchange risks between the US Dollar and Bank's currency pool index for the Bank Loan and SDR for the IDA Credit. For its subloans, CIB will charge an interest rate of no less than 8.5 percent (similar to CIB III but up from 8.0 percent for CIB I and II). 31 President's Report, Fourth Industrial Credit Project - Report No. P-4453-CHA, dated February 6, 1987.  - 3 - 6. Eligibility Criteria of Subloans.4/ All the subprojects to be financed out of the Bank Loan/Credit were to meet the following eligibility criteria: (a) subprojects would be in the manufacturing sector and have a minimum financial and economic rate of return of 12 percent; (b) projects in the heavy industries would be eligible only for modernization or energy/material savings; (c) aggregate subloan to a single enterprise should not exceed $15 million equivalent; and (d) borrowing enterprises/companies should have satisfactory projected financial operations and position. Initial CIB "free-limits" under the Project were as follows: $2.5 million on subloans from its branches in Shanghai, Tianjin and Jiangsu, $1.5 million for branches in Hebei, Hubei, Fujian, Lioaning, Anhui and Zhejiang, and $1.0 million for its other 10 branches. To encourage more delegation of decision making responsibility and with the improving appraisal capabilities of the branches, the Bank's free-limits to CIB were to be twice CIB's own free- limits to its individual branches (under CIB V). CIB's current free-limits with the Bank are: $4.0 million for its branches in Shanghai, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Hebei, $2.0 million for Hubei, Fujian, Lioaning, Anhui, Shandong, Heilongjiang, Beijing, Hunan, Jilin, Guangdong, Shenyang, Dalian, Qingdao, and Guangzhou, and $1.0 million for the other 12 branches. Project Implementation 7. Loan Effectiveness and Implementation Schedule. The Project was approved by the Bank on March 3, 1987; the Loan, Credit, and Project Agreements were signed on March 16, 1987 and became effective on June 22, 1987 within the scheduled date. The original Closing Date was June 30, 1992 but was extended by one year to June 30, 1993 and the Loan Account was actually closed on October 13, 1993. The delay was due mainly to the general slow down in investment activity resulting from the Tiannanmen Square incident in June 1989. In fact, CIB had no additional commitments under the Project in the 1990/91 period. However, two other factors contributed to the slow utilization. The Bank had held processing and approval of several subprojects until CIB provided satisfactory clarifications on its interest rate policies, e.g., CIB was charging interest rates of lower than 8.5 percent which is the minimum agreed under the Project. It was also only at the latter end of 1992 that CIB initiated cancellations of subloans with no amounts disbursed and subloans with some undisbursed balances which were no longer required by the subproject. This created a large unallocated portion under the Loan and Credit for which CIB had to present other eligible subprojects. This caused further delays since many of the subprojects presented could not be authorized under the Loan/ Credit due to the short disbursement period remaining (six months) and due to grounds of eligibility, e.g., the subloans were to be provided to CIB's clients who in turn, would use the proceeds to finance their equity investments in separate joint venture companies. Despite these difficulties, both Loan and Credit were fully disbursed with no cancellations. 4/ Schedule I of the Project Agreement dated March 16, 1987.  -4- Institutional Aspects 8. CIB's Role. During the Project, the future role of CIB within the changing environment in the financial sector surfaced as the important issue for CIB, GOC, and the Bank. It became apparent that CIB showed limited progress in diversifying its fund sourcing and its products and services. It continued to show dependence on Bank funds with its access to the market subject to GOC approval which was limited and at times not available . Indeed, a development strategy for CIB agreed between GOC and the Bank was crucial for the future development of CIB into an autonomous and viable financial institution in China. This strategy was developed during the preparation of CIB V which was approved in 1989. It spelled out the need for CIB to function more independently as a banking institution, to provide a wider range of products and services and to mobilize foreign and local resources from varied sources including the capital markets through issuance of long-term bonds. This strategy had some but limited successes. CIB was able to raise funds from the Asian Development Bank, KfW of Germany, and some token amounts in commercial credits from Japan, Hongkong, and Europe. With local currency funds no longer available from GOC, CIB expanded fairly successfully its deposit mobilization and working capital loans despite limitations to enterprise deposits only. By 1993, CIB had significant international operations in terms of foreign exchange settlements and transactions and under CIB V, initiated a small number of equity investments and lease financings. By this time, CIB's major operations were closer to those of a commercial bank. However, CIB was still not fully under the jurisdiction or supervision of the People's Bank of China (PBC) and thus, could not avail of borrowings from PBC. 9. In 1992, and to settle the issue of its role in the financial sector, CIB had proposed to become a full-fledged commercial bank subject to the approval of GOC. PBC, and PCBC. The Bank had no objection to this proposal provided a satisfactory strategy including appointment of qualified management, was implemented with the appropriate technical assistance. In January 1994, however, the Bank was informed t. GOC's intention to consolidate CIB into PCBC. The Bank's position5/ was that the original objective of establishing a relatively small but efficieitt and viable CIB is still valid particularly in line with GOC's reform policies for the financial sector which promote competition and market-oriented operations. One of the major objectives of the ongoing reforms in the financial sector in China is to "enhance competition within the framework of a sound and transparent institutional and regulatory infrastructure." New banks are being licensed including joint-venture and foreign banks. Under this environment, CIB's proposal would seem feasible. However, the success of an institution such as CIB would depend on the support and commitment of GOC, PBC, and other agencies to ensure adequate autonomy, strong leadership and competent management. Another aspect is the need to corporatize the "new" CIB and transform it into a limited liability shareholding company. The shareholders would include the GOC, financial institutions/banks and eventually individuals. To attain improved access to the international markets and know- 5/ Bank's letter of January 31, 1994 to the Ministry of Finance.  - 5 - how in modem banking, foreign equity participation in the new CIB should seriously be considered. 10. Policies and Strategies. CIB's Policy and Development Strategy Statements which were revised in September 1986 as part of the appraisal of CIB IV, are the basic guidelines for its operations. Under the Project, it remained a specialized bank designated by the GOC to raise foreign exchange resources and provide investment loans to the enterprises in the industrial sector. The Project initiated the desired shift to diversify the sources and uses of its funds and attain more management autonomy. A specific operational plan for CIB was agreed which covered (a) raising capital market loans of $130 million in 1987 and 1988; (b) appointment of full-time presidents in its branches; (c) delegation of approval authority to branches according to capability; (d) appointment of a technical advisor, and recruitment and training of other additional staff; and (e) creation of an economic and research unit to undertake market and economic analysis of subprojects, subsector studies and analysis, and monitoring of economic developments in China and abroad. These were essentially achieved and implemented under the Project although as of December 31, 1993 full-time presidents were appointed in 27 branches out of its total 31 branches. 11. Organization, Management and Staff. Annex A shows the organization chart of CIB as of December 31, 1993. The main differences from that during the appraisal of CIB IV are as follows: Table 1: CIB ORGANIZATION AND STAFFING July 31, 1986 December 31, 1993 No. in board of directors 33 17 No. in managing committee 1i 12 President 1 1 Executive vice-presidents 2 3 No. of head office depts. 6 13 Total no. of staff 655 2,219 - professional staff 563 1,910 No. of head office staff 67 187 professional staff 132 159 No. of branches 19 31 - with full time presidents 0 27 Note: Branches without full-time presidents: Ningbo, Hebei, Guangdong, Qingdao. Prior to 1986, CIB's staff were transfers from PCBC and its presidents both at the head office and branches were concurrently vice-presidents of the PCBC branches; it was only  - 6 - in August 1986 that the head office president was appointed on a full time basis as chief executive officer (CEO). To help attain administrative independence from PCBC, an emphasis under the Project (included in its agreed operational plan) was the appointment of full time presidents in all branches by the end of 1988. In 1987, staff recruitment from the market and outside PCBC was initiated. The issue of autonomy from PCBC remains an issue to date with four branches still without a full-time president with staff housing and branch location still provided and determined by PCBC. Under the Project, delegation of subloan approval authority to the branches was initiated with each branch given a "free limit" which became the bench mark for CIB's own free limits with the Bank (para. 6). Operational/Financial Performance of CIB 12. Loan Operations. Annex B contains CIB's comparative statement of actual and projected loan operations for 1987-92. CIB's actual and cumulative loan operations as compared to projections during appraisal were as follows: Table 2: CIB - LOAN APPROVALS AND DiSBURSEMENTS- PROJECTED AND ACTUAL, 1987-92 (In Y million unless otherwise stated) Actual/ Projected Actual projected Approvals: Local currency 4,126.4 1,055.9 0.26 Foreign currency 10,126.5 5,694.3 0.56 ($ million) (2,724.6) (1,333.9) 0.49 Disbursements: Local currency 3,383.6 1,612.2 0.48 Foreign currency 8,857.9 6,834.3 0.77 ($ million) (2,383.5) (1,527.4) 0.60 Note: Projected figures as provided in the Bank's Staff Appraisal Reports (SAR) for CIB IV (1987-1988) and CIB V (1989-1992); Actual figures as provided by CIB. 13. In 1985, CIB had an exceptional increase in its loan operations with total loan approvals reaching Y 973 million or three times that of 1984. The loan demand continued to increase and led to the Bank's third industrial credit (CIB III) which was approved in 1986 as "bridging" loan. Due to the developing resource constraints, 1986 approvals decreased slightly. Starting in 1987, CIB's operations reached a new high level which were about twice the level of 1985 and 1986. This level continued until the first half of 1989 and the full impact of the political incident of June 1989 was evident in 1990  with foreign currency loan approvals down to less than half of 1989 levels; local currency loan approvals were minimal in 1990 and showed a negative figure due to cancellations in 1991. As indicated in Table 2, overall loan approvals were about 47 percent of projection made during appraisals. As shown in Appendix B, actual performance was above projections prior to 1989 but way below projection after 1989. Besides the political turmoil in June 1989, the austerity program of GOC during the early 1990s and slow down in the growth of its resources particularly foreign currency had contributed to the lower level of operations compared to projections. 14. Financial/Operational Performance. A comparative summary of CIB's financial and operational performance from 1987-92 is shown as Annex C. In terms of profitability, actual performance was disappointing compared to projections in terms of a declining trend and much lower level net income. However, actual expansion of its assets was much higher than projected; e.g., CIB deposits accumulated to Y 6.0 billion which were not shown in the projection and this lead to a substantial volume of short-term working capital loans which were about 5 times the projections by the end of 1992. Actual long-term borrowings in local currency were about 4 times the projected amounts. Consequently, at the end of 1992, CIB's total assets of Y 23.9 billion ($4.2 billion equivalent) were almost twice the projected levels; CIB's equity did not increase as much as projected and its debt/equity ratio exceeded the agreed level (5 times) at about 5.22 times at the end of 1992. In brief, CIB's actual operations and performance are quite different than projected (para. 9). The actual importance of deposits, working capital loans, and local currency borrowings to its operations was not fully reflected in the projections although these operations were not then expected to be major CIB operations. 15. Quality of Loan Portfolio and Loan Collection Performance. Annex D contains the breakdown of CIB's arrears as of December 31, 1992. CIB's total arrears amounted Y 334.47 million and were equivalent to 4.6 percent of total long-term portfolio (3 percent in 1991) which is still reasonably low. However, the trend is worsening-arrears in 1992 increased by 53 percent over those of 1991. The ageing of its arrears is also deteriorating, e.g., arrears over three months were 93 percent of total in 1992 compared to 59 percent in 1991 and arrears over two years were 43 percent of the total in 1992 versus 22 percent in 1991. Its collection performance in 1992 was also lower than in 1991 with collection ratios as follows: 73.4 percent and 78.8 percent for foreign and local currency long-term loans, respectively; working capital loans had ratios of 96.2 percent for foreign currency and 97.4 percent for local currency. During the implementation of the Project, arrears and collection problems became major issues for CIB. Consequently, starting 1993 and as required under the Bank's Tianjin Industrial Development Project (TIDP), CIB adopted collection targets as shown in Table 3. 16. To achieve these collection rates, CIB has adopted several measures to improve collections including (a) to prepare monthly reports from branches on overdue accounts for head office analysis and supportive actions; (b) to establish working groups for collections in branches headed by their presidents; (c) to set up a special fund to provide short-term loans to overdue accounts experiencing temporary shortage in working capital; (d) to reschedule repayment terms of selected clients; and (e) to pursue collections  - 8 - Table 3: CIB's COLLECTIONS TARGETS (percentage) 1992 1993 1994 1995 (actual) ---- (projected targets) ----- Long-term/fixed asset loans: - foreign currency loans 73.4 75.0 80.0 85.0 - local currency loans 78.8 78.0 80.0 90.0 Short-term/working capital loans: - foreign currency 96.2 97.0 97.0 97.0 - local currency 97.4 98.0 98.0 98.0 Overall collection rate 94.9 87.0 88.7 92.5 from guarantors. Additional measures which the Bank has recommended are: to examine CIB's policy on the maturity of its subloans, e.g., there may be a need to provide a longer repayment period than currently provided which is normally within five years; to undertake studies in sectors where a substantial portion of arrears is concentrated; to concentrate its efforts on larger arrears which are overdue for longer periods, i.e., over two years. To be effective, the above strategies should result in specific actions to be taken within specific timeframe. Loan Utilization and Subproject Implementation 17. Actual Utilization and Disbursements. The Loan and Credit udder the Project amount to $250 million and SDR 40.9 million respectively, equivalent to $300 million of which $0.7 million was for technical assistance and the balance of $299.3 million was for a credit line for onlending to light industry. The number of subloans and amounts disbursed under the Loan and Credit of the Project are shown in Table 4. Annex E lists the individual subprojects and amounts disbursed under Bank's Loan 2783 and Credit 1763-CHA. 18. As noted in Table 4, the Project provided a total of 228 subloans (net of cancellations). Seventy-six subloans amounting to $180 million equivalent were above CIB's free-limit and were reviewed by the Bank; these represented 33 percent of total subloans by number and 60 percent by amount which is about what was expected during appraisal. The "above free limit" subloans would have been larger except for the higher free-limits which were implemented to be consistent with those under CIB V. The average subloan size was $1.3 million (ranging from about $0.147 to $5.5 million) which is similar to the average subloan size under CIB II and III and typifies the size and type of subprojects which CIB normally covers.  - 9 - Table 4: SUBLOANS UNDER CIB IV ($/SDR million) Number of Percent Amount Percent subloans of Total Disbursed of Total Loan 2783-CHA ($): Above free limit 64 37.4 161.831 64.7 Below free limit 107 62.6 88.193 35.3 Total 171 100.0 250.004 100.0 Credit 1763-CHA (SDR): Above free limit 12 21.1 15.163 38.9 Below free limit 45 78.9 23.756 61.1 Total 57 100.0 38.919 100.0 Note: The amounts of SDR 1.407 million under Credit 1763-CHA and $4,173 under Loan 2783-CHA were disbursed to cover foreign exchange fluctuations. 19. Subproject Review.6/ Based on the Bank's review, some of the major characteristics and recommendations to improve CIB's appraisal reports included the following. CIB has introduced the use of a computerized program in its financial projections which should facilitate report preparation and provide more time for analysis. The major assumptions used for projections should have been included in its reports as standard information. However, CIB's appraisal could still be improved in the area of market analysis; its analysis should be supported more with market data and information, detailed information on marketing arrangements such as pricing, terms of payment, legal agreements, etc. There is also a need for better monitoring and feedback on projects; for example, appraisal of identical or similar projects should be compared and analyzed for consistency. CIB's head office needs to continuously monitor adherence to approved lending policies. In some cases, CIB submitted subloans to the Bank which were found ineligible for financing under the Project; also, some projects were approved which were not within its approved scope of operations (e.g., outside the industrial sector). There is also the need to improve quality control on its appraisal reports to ensure accuracy of figures (even typos) and information and avoid outdated reports. 6/ The Project Appraisal Manual is currently being updated to reflect the new accounting standards and tax regulations and ex-post analysis of subprojects.  - 10 - 20. Technical Assistance Component. Under the Credit 1763-CHA, SDR 0.575 million was earmarked for technical assistance component for CIB staff training. Actual amount disbursed was SDR 574,818.98 (from 1989 to 1993) and involved 131 CIB staff, about 7 percent of its total staff as of June 30, 1993. The training courses under the TA were mostly short term (below three months) with the following major breakdown: Table 5: BREAKDOWN OF TA COMPONENT Number of % of Training course CIB staff Cost Total ($) 1.

Of the 132 staff, 177 have remained with CIB: 79 at head office and 38 at its branches. 21. Subprojects Financed under the Project. As shown in Table 6, there were 228 subloans under the Project for new and balancing, modernizing, rehabilitation and expansion (BMRE) subprojects. Like previous credit lines, the subloans were mostly for BMRE. These subloans were spread over 28 provinces and municipalities. Unlike previous credits, the subloans under the project were spread more evenly among CIB's branches with no one branch accounting for more than 9 percent. The active branches such as Jiangsu, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Liaoning continue to have the larger share of the subloans but at much lower level. Other branches such as Shandong, Shenyang and Guangdong showed more active use of the Bank funds under the Project. 22. Sectoral Distribution. Textile continued to account for a substantial portion of the subloans under the Project with 55 subloans (24 percent of total) amounting to $82.8 million equivalent to 27 percent of total subloans.

These three groups together accounted for 60 percent of the total amount of subloans. Diversification of its portfolio is one of CIB's objectives and under CIB V, it adopted a exposure ceiling of 25 percent for any sector and exposure to textiles was about 23 percent of total portfolio as of the end of 1992. 23. Type of Enterprises. State-owned enterprises dominated the use of subloans which numbered 208 out of 228 or 92 percent and $280 million out of $302 million or 93 percent. The balance of about 7 percent was accounted for by collectives and other nonstate enterprises (mostly joint ventures) which was slightly lower than the target of 10 percent of total approvals. This target was agreed under CIB V. 24. Subproject Costs and Financing. No data was provided in the estimates of subproject costs although based on experience on previous credit lines, the CIB's portion of the total investment cost averaged about 65 percent. Based on a limited sample of subprojects, the average percentage of CIB financing to total investments was 62-52 percent in foreign exchange and 10 percent in local currency with the enterprises providing most of the local currency funds averaging 38 percent of total investments (these could also be in the form of other local currency loans). Total investments were about equally divided between foreign and local currency requirements. Using these averages, the estimated actual total investments of the subprojects under CIB IV are shown in Table 7. The sample also indicates that there were usually no overruns in the foreign currency portion (in fact a slight underrun) but an average overrun of 5 percent in the local currency component. Table 7: ESnMATED ACTUAL PRoJECr INVESTMENTS Amount Percent ($ mihion) Total investments 573.0 100.0 (foreign currency) (292.0) (51.0) (local currency) (281.0) (49.0) CIB loans 355.0 62.0 (foreign currency) (298.0) (52.0) (local currency) ( 57.0) (10.0) Enterprise funds 218.0 38.0 25. Subproject hnplementation. Implementation of the subprojects under the Project was basically satisfactory. As of June 30, 1993 there were 197 (86 percent) subprojects in operations and 31 (14 percent) were still under construction. Out of the total subprojects in operation, 124 (63 percent) were completed on schedule, 41  - 13 - (21 percent) were delayed for up to six months, 26 (13 percent) were delayed for six months to 12 months, and 6 (3 percent) were delayed for more than one year to two years. By comparison, the on-time completion of subprojects for CIB II was 72 percent and 42 percent for CIB III. Some of the common and major causes of delays included: shortage of and delay in the provision of counterpart funds arising mainly to increased local currency costs, change in project design to implement project within the budget which proved to be lower than actual costs during procurement, delayed delivery and installation difficulties of some imported equipment. In terms of capacity utilization, the performance of the subprojects in operation is shown in Table 8. Table 8: CAPACITY UTILIZATION OF SUBPROJECTS IN OPERATION Percent of capacity Number of subprojects Percent of total 90 percent-100 percent 99 50 percent 70 percent-90 percent 20 10 percent 50 percent-70 percent 27 14 percent below 50 percent 51 26 percent 26. Compared to CIB II and III, the operating performance of subprojects under CIB IV indicates a deteriorating trend although the reasons for the low performance are much the same and included (a) inadequate working capital due higher prices of inputs; (b) operational difficulties with new and imported equipment; and (c) low and ucclining domestic market demand. Based on the above figures, it can be estimated that at least 40 percent of the subprojects (those operating at 70 percent of capacity and below) would be incurring losses or at best break-even. This performance is also reflected in the overall deterioration of CIB's arrears situation (paras. 16 and 17) and repayment experience of the subprojects under CIB IV (para. 27). 27. Repayment Experience. Table 9 summarizes the collection and arrears situation of 197 subprojects under CIB IV. Repayment experience under the Project indicates a reasonably high overall collection ratio of 87 percent although the "on-time" collection is at 75 percent which reflects the average experience of CIB's total portfolio of long-term loans. However, the cumulative arrears under the Project amount to Y 155 million equivalent or 45 percent of the total arrears ending 1992 representing only 35 companies or only 4 percent of the total number of companies in CIB's portfolio. Furthermore, the ten companies with the largest arrears account for Y 95 million or 61 percent of total arrears under the Project (ranging from Y 1.0 million to Y 28 million in arrears). As indicated in para. 16, CIB will continue to face arrears problems given that the problems of its clients do not seem to have been addressed early enough and are fast  - 14 - Table 9: COLLECTION AND ARREARS POSmON (As of June 30, 1993) Principal and interest Number of Foreign currency Local currency projects ($ million) (Y million) 1.

Furthermore, CIB's accumulated provisions for doubtful debts need to be reviewed. As the end of 1992, CIB's provisions accumulated to Y 227.99 million equivalent of 1.46 percent of its gross portfolio (3.1 percent of long-term portfolio). In addition to CIB's collection strategies and efforts, it would require additional and larger provisions which in turn, will result in the need for larger additional equity contributions to maintain a strong capital structure. As it is, CIB's long-term debt equity ratio is above the agreed maximum level of 5 times which is still considered prudent for its type of operations. The debt-equity issue is still outstanding under CIB V for which the Bank is awaiting for CIB's strategy and action plan to achieve such ratio as agreed under all the agreements with the Bank. 29. Economic and Financial Rates of Return. Similar to CIB II and III, the ex-ante financial (FRR) and economic (ERR) rates of return for the Project were within a wide range: 15 percent to 74 percent for FRR and 14 percent to 86 percent for ERR. The average FRR and ERR were 45 percent and 38 percent respectively. Based on a sample of ten subprojects, the ex-post calculations show the following results: (a) the ex- post FRR were lower than the ex-ante estimates with an average of 21 percent (ranging  - 15 - from 12 percent to 29 percent) compared to an average ex-ante FRR of 27 percent (ranging from 18 percent to 42 percent). However, the ex-post rates were satisfactory in that all except for one project had FRRs of over 17 percent. (b) the ex-post ERR were also generally lower that ex-ante estimates; the average ex-post ERR was 28 percent (ranging from 17 percent to 79 percent) compared to an average ex-ante ERR of 34 percent (ranging from 18 percent to 47 percent). Based on the implementation and arrears situations for the subprojects, the results of the sample may not be representative. For example, about 40 percent or 91 enterprises were operating below 70 percent of capacity which indicates losses or about at the break-even level (paras. 25 and 26). Furthermore, there were 35 companies (18 percent of those in operation) which had arrears with CIB; 31 companies (14 percent of total) were still under construction and not operating. 30. Other Economic Benefits. It is estimated that the operations of 197 completed projects generated incremental revenues of about Y 2,950 million ($550 million) and Y 200 million in taxes, and an equivalent of $260 million in foreign exchange earnings (about 50 percent of revenues) indicating the export orientation of CIB clients. The 197 subprojects also created incremental employment for close to 14,000 or an average of 71 jobs per project. The incremental jobs for the 228 subproject should amount to about 16,000 at estimated average cost of $35,000 per job which is reasonably low. 31. Project Sustainability. The benefits derived from the project could only be assured with continuing achievement of CIB's long-term objective-to become an independent, efficient and viable financial institution. This, in turn, is dependent on the commitment and support of GOC and other related agencies. CIB needs to evolve with the changing environment particularly in the financial sector. In reviewing CIB's operations and implementation of the Project as well as CIB V during the seven-year period (1987-93), CIB's role in the financial sector in China has been the focus of the Bank and GOC dialogue (paras. 8-10). It became evident that despite the Bank's concerted efforts, GOC has not been fully committed to the same long-term objective for ClIB. It has become clearer that to GOC, CIB under the leadership of PCBC, is still limited to a convenient channel for Bank funds. Thus, the proposal to consolidate CIB into PCBC. If this is implemented, the main objective of the various Bank projects for CIB would be lost, i.e., to develop CIB as an independent and sound financial institution providing meaningful competitive services in the financial sector. Bank Performance 32. Together with GOC and PCBC, the Bank was instrumental in the establishment of CIB which was the first of many new financial institutions emerging in China. Bank's financing through CIB has made available foreign exchange resources for the much needed technical renovation projects in the light industry sector. Under the Project, the Bank's performance has helped CIB towards achieving its objectives: (a) the Bank contributed significantly in developing CIB's project appraisal capacity not only through CIB's appraisal manual which is now extensively used in China but also in terms of continuing training and feedback advice during supervision and subproject reviews; (b) with encouragement from the Bank to diversify its sources of funds, CIB has developed  - 16 - a reasonably successful deposit base for short-term local currency resources; (c) CIB has developed a sizable branch network, albeit with the support and assistance from PCBC and with the Bank's urging, most of these branches now have full-time presidents; and (d) under the Bank's guidance and technical assistance funding, CIB has developed a core staff which are well-trained and experienced in project finance. At the same time, there are still a number of aspects in which the Bank should continue to assist CIB's improvement, e.g., project/loan supervision and collection, corporate and financial planning, mobilization of long-term resources, and overall assets and liabilities management. 33. Under the CIB IV and other Bank projects with CIB, some of the lessons which may be learned would include the following. First, in establishing new financial institutions, there needs to be not only full commitment, support and clear ownership from the GOC as implementing agency but also a clear understanding and agreement on the long-term objectives of such institutions. In retrospect, there really was no full agreement on the long-term objectives for CIB. CIB was always considered by GOC merely as a way to channel Bank funds through the leadership of PCBC, thus the apparent lack of support for its development as an independent financial institution. The Bank could have accepted this much earlier in its relationship with CIB and pursued more aggressively a clear agreement and a more permanent solution to CIB's independence and long-term role. 34. Second, although the Bank has consistently emphasized the importance of project supervision and collection, there were perhaps inadequate programs for training and project requirements for appropriate organization and procedures for this activity under the Bank projects. Furthermore, it was only after the fifth CIB project that specific performance indicators such as collection ratios, were included in the design of Bank project for CIB (paras. 15 and 16). These indicators would have been useful, effective tools and an incentive for the Bank to monitor and for CIB to develop its project supervision and financial performance which are key to its long-term viability. For example, under CIB V, without the specific targets agreed for the provisions for doubtful debts, CIB would not have been allowed to build such reserves (para. 16). 35. Third, CIB's diversification of resources should have been pursued more aggressively. Specific targets as adopted under CIB V could have been initiated earlier under the Project. Furthermore, the slow implementation and unclear direction of reforms in the financial sector during the Project implementation had greatly influenced CIB's overall development and performance. For sometime, CIB had virtually no competition for Bank funds and other suitable financial institutions could have been involved earlier in Bank projects. Borrower Performance 36. Under difficult circumstances, CIB was able to implement the project satisfactorily. The Loan and Credit under the Project were fully disbursed although the Closing Date had to be extended by one year. Its progress reporting were delayed and lately has not been adequate. However, submission of its annual long-form financial audit reports has been satisfactory and on time. For its existing operations, CIB needs to focus  - 17 - in implementing its strategy to improve project supervision and loan collections which are key to its long-term viability. At the same time, CIB needs to vigorously pursue a clear and firm resolution on its future role in the financial sector and prepare a feasible plan for its transformation into a full-fledged commercial bank. In this effort and as indicated to CIB and GOC, the Bank is prepared to consider providing technical assistance to ensure a smooth transition and operations of the "new" CIB. 37. Project Documentation and Data. The Loan, Credit, and Project Agreements with GOC and CIB for the Project were adequate for achieving the Project objectives; they were also in reasonable detail and served as useful guide during implementation. Likewise, the Appraisal Report was well-prepared and also was a useful reference for the Bank, CIB and GOC. CIB also provided progress reports and annual long-form financial audit reports which were valuable supervision and monitoring data. Part II of this PCR contains a completion report for the Project prepared by CIB.  - 18 - PART II. PROJECT REVIEW FROM BORROWER'S PERSPECTIVE (See Attachment 1)  - 19 - PART III.

Economic Setting  - 38 - 1.14 In the eignties, tne main task of China ras Deen focusing on economic construction. Economic aeveloPment and reforms went nana in hand. Economic and social developments could only be fosterec tnrough reforms and opening to the outside world. One decade-long reforms ana oDening policy have created a new era of modernization of the economy. and accomPi shea eye-catching achievements whicn manifested in the average amnual growth rate of 9% of GNP over the past decade. During this period, the growth of inaustrial production in China was the fastest in the world. Modernization of industrial sectors strengthened China's competitiveness in the international markets. Within a couple of years, export volume increased three times. China's share in the volume of world trade increased from 0.97% to 1.70%. The past mono-state- ownership was gradually replaced by a new framework in which state ownership played a dominant role, with supplementation of other kinds of ownership. The highly centralized plaMning system was in the Drocess of being sLverseded by a new setup in which economic planning took into serious consideration market forces; Prior to the reforms, the state managea economic activity through direct control. The practice was progressively succeeded by combination of direct and indirect measures, with indirect means playing an increasingly central role. The closed and partially closed economy was gradually shifted to a mucn more oPened one with increased involvement in internationa I exchange and cooperation. The overall economic situation continued on the path of continued, steady and coordinated development. 1.15 While accomplishing some achievements in reforms, we are also aware that some problems, such as inappropriate production structure and low efficiency, will not be completely eliminated within short period of time. Thus, some difficulties will remain in the economy. These include (1) inflation emerging in the latter part of the eighties: and (2) negative effects of the political disturbance in 1989 on Chinese economy; and (3) no fundamental improvements in market sluggishness: and (4) uneven recovery in the industrial proauction, and mismanagement and low efficiency of some enterprises. 1.16 The Chinese government has been fully aware of these difficulties and taken a series of measures to address them. In curtailing inflation, the Government took measures to contain investment anm tighten money supoly. Inflationary pressure was eased in the first Quarter of 1990. Although the political disturbance in 1989 did have some negative effects on Chinese economy, the sLbsequent positive phenomenon --reflecting in new interests of foreign investors in China, enhanced national economic integrity, lifting of embargo by EuroPe Community and renewal of preferential loans by Japanese government -- indicates that these consequences are only temporary. The Chinese government also took necessary measures to address market sluggishness, uneven industrial recovery and widespread low economic efficiency. Following reduction in interest rates on two occasions and gradual price correctness, the consumer market began to revive. Enterprises began to pay increased attention to product auality dunring the course of "Year of Quality, Variety and Efficiency Campaign" in 1991. At the same time, the policy of the centra I government on reinvigorating large- and medium-sized enterprises was conducive to making these enterDrises more dynamic. 1.17 Reform measures, above all, are successfu;. The negative effects resulting from the austerity have to a larger extent been mitigated. In the early nineties. China will focus on maintaining tne economy in a sustained,  - 39 - steaay ana coordinated way. with the purDose cf attaining the objectives set out fcr the second stage of strategic develooment of modernization ana, correcting the weaknesses in the macroeconomic controi and price reform in the past decade. III. Objectives of Loan/Credit lV 1.18 The main objectives of Industrial Loan/Credit IV for CIB approved by the World Banr (the Bank) are as follows: (1) to helip CIB finance the productive facilities ana resources which are conducive to domestic economic ana social developments: and (2) to improve the institutional arrangement, project evaluation and resource financing, and to ameliorate the financial intermediaries. 1.19 During the implementation under Loan/Credit IV, the Bank put emphasis on enhancing quality of CIB staff, especially through overseas training in the industrial, operational, financial and managerial aspects. In addition, the Bank was expected to provide assistance and guidance to CIB with regard to project assortment and review. 1.20 The imp I ementation of these oijectives will be elaborated in the remainder of this report. Part II. Basic Facts on Subprojects underr Loan/Credit IV 1. Sumuary on the Lses of Loan/Credit I-l1l 2.01 As of June 1987, CIB had provided 306 suborojects with loans of an amount of USD 340 million under the Bank Loan/Credit I-ill, and an amount of Y590 million. Each sLbproject, on average, received USD1.11 million and Y1.94 million. The share of foreign and Rervninbi within the loans was 1:1.7. 2.02 As of June 1987. Disbursements under Loan/Credit I-IlIl had been completed. The pace of disbursements, which was slow from 1983 through 1984. definitely sped up during 1985-86. By the end of June 1986, cumu I ative disbursements reached to USD157 million, accounting for 60% of Loan/Credit I and 45% of the second, respectively. It was felt that the pace of disbursements under Loan/Credit I-l1l were broadly satisfactory. Disbursement under Loan/Credit II was terminated twelve months ahead of schedule. And disbursement under Loan/Credit III was concluded as scheduled. 2.03 The maturity of Loan/Credit I-IllI was on average three to five years. with varying grace periods of one to three years. Borrowers were mainly state- owned enterprises (SOEs). Unkder Loan/Credit I-1II, 219 subprojects were SOEs and 87 were collectively-owned, accounting for 70% and 28% of the total, respectively. Most of subProjects were characterized by technological transformation. Of the total, 275 were technical transformation, accounting for 90%. The expected rate of financial return was between 12%-45%. rate of economic return 18%-35%, which would have attained the envisaged objectives. II. Performance of Subprojects under LoarVCredit IV 2.04 Al location of the Financing: the Forth Industrial Loan/Credit Project came into effect in June 1987. As of June 30, 1993, 228 suborojects had been approved. As a matter of fact. 242 haa been permittea, Dut 14 had been  - 40 - istea under otner CIB Loan/Credit. The tota amount was loan 2782-CHA USD 250.73 mil lion, with each subproject on average receiving USY 1.33 mill ion. Meanwnile. CIB provided Y280.77 million, with eacn suvProject averagely ob- taining RMB Y1.23 million. The share of foreign currency and Renminri within the loans was 1:0.9.(see Table 2.1, 2.2) 2.05 Commitments: From June 1987 when f irst suLoroject was committed by the World Bank, until June 30 1993, total 228 subProjects had been committed as the elements of the Forth Industrial loan/credit projects. Total amount of commitments under Loan 2783-CHA was USD 250.73 million and Credit 1763-CHA SDR39.2 miIlion, respectively. On table 2.3: 1)The fastest pace of commitment was during 1987-1988, the committed amount accounted for 84 of the Loan and 77% of the Credit, respectively. It was in conformation with the Pace of domestically economic develoPment on that days: 2) During 1990-1991, the datum of conmitted amount was zero, because: (A) CIB had made adjustment to these subprojects which were identified in the period (see 2.08); (B) The cost of the Forth World Bank Loan was a little bit higher; (C) The Influence came from the "political disturbance" in 1989: (D) Since contents of 5 year financial forecast must be placed into project appraisal report, so as to slow down project-evaluating speed: (E) The caoital of tne Fifth World Bank Loan in 1989 had been poured in. 2.06 Loan/credit Disbursements: From the trird quarter in 1987 when first suboroject was disbursed, to June 30 1993, the account-closing day, total 301.297,932.01 USD had been withrcawn consisting of Loan 2783-CHA 247,075,626.30 dollars and Credit 1763-CHA 54,222.305.71 dollars. Tab I e 2.4 points: 1) During 1987-1989, the Forth World Bank's reimbursement was a little bit faster, the amount accounted for 66% of the total reimbursements. It was in keeping with the progress of suLprojects' commitment and expenditure in these years: and 91.6%. 2) In 1992, the figLre of disbursement on SDR was negative, because in the year, 150,000,000 us dollars were returned back from the accounts for special purposes. and the actual disbLrsements were 1,920,000.00 dollars. 3) From 1990-1992, the Forth World Bank reimbursement were honoured a little bit slower, the amount was 6% of the total reimbursements. During 1987-1992, the total amount of reimiDursement actual ly honourea made up 72% of the due. The account could not been closea according to tne reauirements of the loan agreement. 2.07 Reasons for reimbursement unfinishing by the end of 1992: 1) Because of the influence from "*June 4" politica I turmoil, tne imp I ementation of commercial contracts were encountered great difficulties, and equipments deliveries were also delayed, so as to affect the regularly financing disbursement to these projects: 2) After 1987, a bidding system that equipments needed must be called for domestic tenders prior to applying importation, in China, was initiated, wnich increasea the Droceoures for approval of equipment importation. In turn, it to some extent affected Dace of disbursements. 3) The cost of the World Bank capital IV was 8.5%, one percent point higher than costs of domestic caDital in same term: 4) During disbursing proceoure of tne loan I-IV, unaertaken by CIB, some weaknesses still existed. Due to these reasons, the account of tne loan/credit IV project couldn't be closed on June 30 1992. 2.08 Vigorous measures: For changing the situation, CIB nad apoIied for one year's grace to postpone the closing aeadline and took vigorous measures: One was that CIB adjusted the ooerational distribution among No. 1 Project Department, No.2 Project Department and Credit DeDartments  - 41 - in NovemDer 1991 (see 4.03). After adjustment, the operational distribution was more Deneficial to managing Payment to constructing suoProjects. Tne other was that for the suoProjects with a Dayment slower or a unpaid balance, the due disbursing balance which CIB decided not to Pay any more was transferred into the undistributed balance on the World Bank's accounts. in order to make uo needs of new suborojects witn a faster Pace of payment. In the period of Nov. 1992 to Jun. 1993, total subprojects cancelled or with a cancelled balance were 142: the amount cf cancellation maae respectively up loan 2783-CHA 27.99 million aollars ana credit 1763-CHA 4.89 million dollars. In the meantime, 35 new subprojects were approved; the amount of approval accounted for USD50.82 million. 3) Persons with special duty were authorized to be responsible for reimbursement of the Loan/Credit IV expenditure. Since utilizing these measures, from Nov. 1992 to Jun. 1993, the amount reimbursed by the World Bank was 2783-CHA USD77.8 million and 1763-CHA SDR2.85 million, respectively. Ana on JuLne 30 1993, in the grace term greeted by WB. the account was closed on time. Ill. Subproject Profile under Loan/Credit IV 2.09 Ownership: Most of subprojects under Loan/Credit IV were state-owned enterprises (SOEs), which accounted for 92% of the total number of suDpro- jects and 93% of the total approved amount. The primary reasons for SOES' great portion were as follows: (1) SOEs continue to be the principal k inds of ownership in Chirna. In addition, they possess good underpinnings for developments, which mitigate the risk of making investment there. With the advent of reforms and opening to the oxutside world, SOEs have become more cautious of selecting projects, and the possibility of their successful comDletion of projects was higher tnan enterprises of other k inds of ownership. and (2) While implementing Loan/Credit IV, CIB experimented with financing a small number of joint-ventures and township and village enterprises (TVEs). As these were new areas for it. CIB used its own funds to finance these projects in order to reduce the risks of failing to repay foreign currency loans. That is why not many of enterprises of these two kinds were financed by Loan/Credit IV. As recommended by the Bank, CIB therefore increased the financing ,I non-state enterprises under Loan/Credit V.(see Table 2.5) 2.10 Subproject Character: Under Loan/Credit I-Ill, technical transformation subprojects accounted on average for 90% of the total. Under Loan/Credit IV, however, its share declined to 86%. It shows that while emphasizing on technical transformation, CIB also paid due attention to helP with the restructuring and extension of enterprises, with the aim of make the share of restructuring and technica I transformation suboprojects becoming more balanced. (see Table 2.6) 2.11 Subproject Scale: In the suborojects approved, CIB has been emphasizing on small- and medium-sized industrial projects which needed small amount of financing, but Yielded returns quickly and had definite potentials for repayments. Under Loan/Credit IV, foreign currency financing for each subproject generally did not exceed the uPPer ceiling. SuDprojects with an amount of less than USD1 million accounted for 52% of the total, those less tnan USD,-2.5 million 35% and those more tran USD5 million only 1
