As CBRC said, JuneYao and Fosun, two local private conglomerates in Shanghai, may not be willing to give up their controlling position in setting up a private bank as they are aggressively focussing on expansion.
According to private banking regulation by CBRC, a single shareholder’s stake should not exceed 30% and only one shareholder is allowed to hold the maximum amount.
It is also said that JuneYao has found a new partner, Shanghai Huafu Investment, to proceed with application for the first private bank in Shanghai. According to CBRC’s Shanghai office the application is still in approval process.
