In case of any discrepancies, the Chinese version shall govern. Executive Summary Since the start of 2018, the Chinese economy and the financial development has faced increasing external challenges, as the global economic and political landscape underwent significant adjustment. Against this backdrop, the financial sector has always stuck to the general principle of seeking progress while ensuring stability and the requirement of promoting high- quality development, effectively implemented macroeconomic policies and strengthened financial services to the real economy by overcoming difficulties and working diligently. As a result, the financial order has improved, financial reform and opening-up has made progress, the critical battle against major financial risks has witnessed a good start, and therefore the financial sector contributed positively to the sustained and healthy development of the economy and social stability. In 2018, China’s GDP grew by 6.6 percent year on year, one of the top performers among the major economies. The employment kept stable, inflation remained generally modest, the balance of payments was in equilibrium, and the size of the foreign exchange reserves was basically stable. In the context of rising uncertainties in the global economic recovery, the steady performance of the Chinese economy is commendable, which not only lays a solid foundation for achieving the first centenary goal of a moderately prosperous society in all respects, but also remains an important force driving the global economic growth. Recognizing our achievements, we are also keenly aware that, affected by various factors at home and abroad, some accumulated deep-rooted problems in the Chinese economy have come to the fore, which might trigger financial risks easily and frequently, and increase economic difficulties. From a global standpoint, the probability of a global economic slowdown after a period of recovery has increased, unilateralism and trade protectionism have been on the rise worldwide, the financial markets are highly sensitive to developments of trade relations, and uncertainties of the global liquidity have gone up. On the domestic front, financial risks have evolved with new characteristics. New risks of problem institutions and illegal financial activities have been contained effectively, whereas the accumulated risks need to be further resolved. The financial markets are prone to external shocks, and the risks of exceptional market volatility cannot be ignored. To effectively prevent and dissolve risks, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council have made important overall arrangements to win the critical battle against major financial risks, and have outlined the principles of “maintaining overall stability, proceeding in a coordinated manner, adopting differentiated policies, and addressing risks in a targeted and calibrated way”. In the past one year, the People’s Bank of China (PBC), under the leadership of the Financial Stability and Development Committee (FSDC) of the State Council, worked with other related government agencies and deployed differentiated policies to address in a well-targeted and timely manner key risks that threaten financial stability. It took active measures to gradually resolve persistent potential risks to achieve “slow release of air and soft landing”. In light of institutional deficiencies, the PBC continuously advanced regulatory reforms to overcome shortcomings. It also strengthened day-to-day risk monitoring and assessment and made plans to deal with various risks, such as “black swan” and “grey rhinoceros” events that might happen in the future. In the meantime, in the process of addressing and resolving risks, efforts were made to manage well the pace and intensity of policies, make preemptive adjustments and fine-tunings when appropriate, and avoid “risks arising from risk resolution”, so as to effectively ensure stable functioning of the financial markets and financial institutions. We have made headways in forestalling and addressing financial risks through a raft of intensive measures over the past year. Firstly, the macro leverage ratio has been put under control. Measures such as managing well monetary supply on the macro level, as well as promoting corporate deleveraging, curbing rapid growth of the leverage of the household sector and actively resolving implicit liabilities of local governments on the micro level have preliminarily contained the rapid growth momentum of the macro leverage ratio. Secondly, high-risk institutions were handled in a proper and orderly manner. The PBC decisively took over the Baoshang Bank in line with relevant laws and regulations to maximally protect the legitimate rights and interests of depositors and other clients, broke the expectation of implicit guarantee and strengthened market discipline. The timely takeover “stopped bleeding”, and averted further deterioration of risks. The process went smoothly, and there were no mass events such as a bank run. Thirdly, the financial order was forcefully rectified. Efforts were made to earnestly conduct the special campaign against risks of Internet finance, continue to severely crack down on illicit fund-raising activities, and steadily identify and rectify problems in various exchanges, so as to reduce existing risks in an appropriate and well-paced manner. Fourthly, risks of financial market volatility were addressed. Multiple policy instruments were deployed to increase liquidity supply to effectively smooth out short-term volatilities, and dissolve the partial and structural liquidity risks of small- and medium-sized banks. Measures were taken to deal with bond defaults in an orderly manner, and to steadily resolve risks associated with stock pledging. The PBC also effectively responded to shocks from cross-border capital flows and maintained the RMB exchange rate at a reasonable and equilibrium level. Fifthly, regulatory shortcomings were addressed. New regulations governing asset management and the related details for implementation were introduced to rectify market chaos. As a result, shadow banking risks were well contained. The PBC improved the financial regulatory framework by announcing guidelines on regulation of systemically important financial institutions and developing the tentative measures for regulation of financial holding companies. In general, the rapid accumulation of financial risks over the past few years has been gradually released, and the explicit financial risks have been addressed in an orderly way. The financial markets have fared well, with an improved financial regulatory framework and no occurrence of systemic financial risks. Going forward, latent risks cannot be eliminated within a short period of time, as the sources of disruption and risks are increasing globally, and downward pressures are mounting on the domestic economy. Nevertheless, the Chinese economy remains resilient, with a high household savings

The stimulus plan offered by the central government has significantly encouraged local governments’ borrowing and infrastructure spending. Due to the limited funding sources, the local governments have been heavily dependent on a peculiar financing form called the Local Government Financing Vehicle (LGFV) to help finance their investments. However, despite the short-term positive effects, the expansion of LGFVs has implanted critical risks and vulnerabilities in China’s economic system. The obscure and sophisticated relationships among the local governments, the LGFVs, the commercial banks and other financial institutions, and the investors are unsustainable in the long run. Without active policy reforms, the LGFV financing will bring unbearable debt burdens to local governments in a few years. As a result, measures have to be taken to prevent the financial position of the local governments from further deteriorating and to consolidate the safety of China’s financial system.

  • Issuance Overpricing of China's Corporate Debt Securities
    Internet Appendix for “Issuance Overpricing of China’s Corporate Debt Securities” Yi Ding Wei Xiong Jinfan Zhang In this Internet Appendix, we report the following figures, tables, and additional analyses omitted from the main paper. Fig. A1 depicts debt security issuance across the interbank market and the exchange market from 2009 to 2019. In Table A1, we list the 68 licensed underwriters in the interbank market at the end of 2019. Information on underwriters is obtained from NAFMII. In Table A2, we summarize overpricing for CP and MTNs separately for both before and after the rebate ban period. Although the magnitude declined after the ban for both CP and MTNs, overpricing remains statistically significantly. Taken together, we find significant overpricing in all these issuance categories. In Table A3, we report summary statistics of issuance overpricing by using excess returns of the first secondary-market trading day as the overpricing measure. The table shows that the overpricing is robust across time, debt securities, and issuers with different characteristics, consistent with Table 3 in the main paper. In Tables A4 and A5, we conduct difference-in-difference analyses to examine how the underwriter rebate ban affects the excess return across different issuers and across different underwriters. Consistent with results in Tables 5 and 6 of the main paper from using the yield-spread measure, these tables show that after the ban, the drop in overpricing is significantly greater for securities issued by central SOEs than for those issued by other firms, and the drop in overpricing is significantly smaller for issuances underwritten by the Big Four banks.
