Young executives of listed banks

According to statistics, since the beginning of the year, a total of 28 listed banks have experienced changes in their "three long" positions, accounting for nearly half of the total number of A-share and H-share banks. Among them, there have been significant changes in the position of chairman, with 14 banks experiencing such changes. In addition, the positions of supervisors of over 10 listed banks are still vacant.

Overall, the post-60s generation is still the main force of bank executives, especially in state-owned and joint-stock banks. This year, many executives born in the 1960s have also moved within the financial system, such as the "three long" changes that occurred in banks such as Industrial Bank, CITIC Bank, and Ping An Bank.

At the same time, more and more "post-70s" have appeared in joint-stock banks, and even in the "three leaders" sequence of state-owned large banks. For example, Ge Haijiao, the new chairman of Bank of China, and Wang Jinhong, the new chairman of Bohai Bank, were both born in 1971, becoming the youngest "leaders" of 18 national banks.

It is worth noting that the younger wave is more concentrated in urban commercial banks and rural commercial banks: Jiangyin Bank, Zhengzhou Bank, and Zhongyuan Bank each welcomed the "75s" chairman this year, while Ruifeng Bank, Huishang Bank, Chongqing Bank, and Jiangyin Bank each welcomed the "75s" chairman.

Among them, 46 year old Song Ping was elected as the Chairman of Jiangyin Bank in June this year, and is currently the youngest head of a listed bank. Her new CEO, Ni Qinghua, who works with her, is also born in the 1970s. Gao Song, who has just taken office, is of the same age as the President of Ningbo Bank, Zhuang Lingjun, and the President of Zhangjiagang Bank, Wu Kai. Both were born in 1979 and have become one of the youngest directors of listed banks.

Liao Zhiming, Chief Analyst of China Merchants Securities Banking, believes that with changes in the external economy and industrial structure, the role of young executives will become increasingly apparent. "Understanding and controlling emerging industries, improving user experience, and enhancing business efficiency all require the support of the younger generation of executives."
