In addition, the report also said that BOC will grant approximately 420 billion yuan in new loans this year, bringing the banker's total credit up 10 percent year-on-year.
The bank's newly added loans were slightly higher than 600 billion yuan in 2010, the newspaper added.
After last year's multi-billion-dollar capital raising maneuver, BOC has no refinancing plans for this year, it said.
