The Inner Mongolia autonomous region, Liaoning province and Jiangsu province ranked as the top three in the number of micro-credit companies, having 286, 204, and 194 companies, respectively.

Micro-lending companies have become an important component and supplementary power of China's credit market. They have also been important routes for private capital to enter the financial market, the statement noted.
