Bad-loan provisions rose as the pandemic hammered Chinese business activity, causing a historic first-quarter contraction and weighing on an economy that was already in long-term growth slowdown. “The pandemic sent the world economy into a serious recession, posing heavier pressure on banks’ business operations and asset quality in 2020,” Industrial and Commercial Bank of China ICBC said in an earnings report.
