Banks are financial institutions that operate currency and credit services. As products of developed commodity-money economies, they facilitate economic activities through issuing credit currencies, managing currency circulation, balancing capital supply-demand relationships, and handling monetary deposits/loans and settlements.
Since the reform and opening-up, China's commodity economy has become increasingly dynamic, driving rapid expansion of the banking industry. However, under current circumstances of accelerated interest rate liberalization, intensified internal-external competition, and declining profit growth rates, banking institutions must implement strategic adjustments in business structures, resource allocation, and regional layouts. This makes industry-specific research on developmental environments and market demands increasingly critical.
CnOpenData presents foreign investment information data covering all Chinese banks, containing industrial and commercial registration records of over 1,000 banks' external investments. Key fields include bank name (银行名称), invested enterprise name (被投资企业名称), registered capital (注册资本), establishment date (成立日期), subscribed capital contribution/shareholding quantity (认缴出资额/持股数), and capital contribution date (认缴出资日期), providing robust support for related research.
