On June 9th, Ping An Bank announced the resignation of former president Hu Yuefei. This veteran, who has been working at Ping An for decades, has resigned from his position as Executive Director, member of the Board's Strategic Development and Consumer Rights Protection Committee, and President due to age reasons.
According to media reports, as of the 9th alone, 75 bank executives have resigned this year, with none of the six major state-owned banks absent. A total of 18 executives have resigned, including 6 from Bank of China, 4 from Postal Savings Bank, 3 from Agricultural Bank of China, 2 from Construction Bank, 2 from Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and 1 from China Communications Bank. Before leaving, they held various positions such as Chairman, Vice President, Employee Supervisor, and Chief Risk Officer.
Upon reviewing the resignation notice, Zhongxin Finance found that the main reasons for executives leaving are age and job adjustments, with some executives having other appointments after leaving. In addition, during the financial anti-corruption crisis, some people have fallen off guard after leaving office. For example, Liu Liange, former Party Secretary and Chairman of Bank of China, was investigated for suspected serious violations of laws and discipline.

At a time when the wave of bank executives leaving their positions is surging, there is also a group of "new faces" accelerating their replacement and becoming the new generation of leaders.
According to Ping An Bank's announcement, after Hu Yuefei resigns, Ping An Bank plans to appoint Ji Guangheng as the bank's president. Ji Guangheng will also take over as the Party Secretary of Ping An Bank. Like Hu Yuefei, Ji Guangheng is also a senior banker with rich experience in the industry.

On June 9th, Postal Savings Bank of China announced the appointment of Vice President Niu Xinzhuang.

On June 8th, China Construction Bank announced that regulatory authorities had approved the qualifications of Ji Zhihong and Cui Yong, and the two were officially appointed as executive directors of the bank.
Regarding the more frequent adjustment of banking industry executives, some industry insiders have indicated that on the one hand, this is due to the retirement of several bank executives, and on the other hand, with the transformation and development of the bank, it is necessary to readjust the leadership positions in charge of business. At the same time, timely supplementation of senior management personnel can help banks better carry out business operations and serve the high-quality development of the real economy.
However, after the adjustment, there are still multiple vacant bank executive positions. For example, according to the official website of Hengfeng Bank, the bank's president and supervisor are still vacant.
