The NPL rate for the major banks was higher than the average level of all Chinese banks, which was 1.58 percent.
The five banks include Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Bank of China, China Construction Bank and Bank of Communications, which are all listed companies, in addition to the unlisted Agricultural Bank of China.
The four listed lenders provision cover was 163.41 percent, above the level of 150 percent required by the CBRC, and that of the Agricultural Bank of China stood at 105.81 percent, higher than the required 100 percent, the CBRC said.
