Commercial banks strengthen administration and operation, review and complete internal stipulations, develop clear and suitable operation and business strategies, refrain from large investment in high-risk areas like security and real estate, enhance internal auditing, ensure independence and improve efficiency of internal control and supervision - State regulatory offices promulgate policies on management of commercial banks to control risks and challenges before they occur and strengthen monitoring and supervision - Bad debts relating to state economic groups in commercial banks should be liquidated -
