Increased financing tools for large enterprises in China will help banks look to small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for future lending business, Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the central bank, told a press conference during the second Session of the 11th National People's Congress on Friday.

Zhou noted that as more large Chinese enterprises issue stocks and bonds in the capital market to raise money instead of borrowing money from banks, banks will have to bend their lending business toward SMEs in the long run.

Many banks are setting up departments for SME loan business, according to Zhou. He said there should be more new innovative financial tools specially designed for SMEs.
