China closes record number of banks as growth slows
Original: China closes record number of banks as economic growth slows
China has shut down a record number of bank branches as the country's economic growth continues to slow. The closures point to pressure on the banking sector, with lenders consolidating physical networks amid weaker demand, rising bad loans in the property sector, and the shift of customers to digital banking services.
Why now: Bank closures on a record scale are being read as a signal of deepening trouble in the world's second-largest economy.
