The non-performing loan rate was 1.5 percent by the end of 2009, down 0.71 percentage point from a year earlier, the report said.

The CCB's A-share stock price rose 1.27 percent to 5.58 yuan per share on Friday.

The total assets of the Beijing-based lender rose 27.37 percent by the end of 2009 to 9.62 trillion yuan from a year earlier, according to the report.
