BEIJING, Feb. 17 (Xinhua) -- Beijing municipal branch of Bank of Communications has recently taken measures to support the small and micro businesses engaging in the prevention and control of the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, according to the Beijing News.
The measures include the establishment of green channel of loan approval and rapid financing services, reduction of loan interest rates, deferred repayment and online services.
