  • China's Banking Sector and the Attractiveness of Dim Sum Bond
    China's banking sector and the attractiveness of Dim Sum Bond Antonello Avino in collaboration with Fjorda Vacchetti and Ludovico Gerli March 2016 Abstract China's banking system has tremendously grown in recent years. `The Big Four' keep dominating the Chinese banking system as well as they are playing an important role all over the world, mentioning in the first four positions of the largest banks ranking. In spite of its expansion, the banking sector is still suffering from serious structural and administrative issues. In order to deeply figure them out, we are going to perform a meticulous analysis of the banking sector, specifying what is the financial system adopted by China, what kinds of banks operate along with the first four banks and how the regulatory system has changed over time. Also, we are going to discuss the `parallel' banking, well-known as `shadow banking', which slowed down the growth of the banking system. Even though financial consequences of the global crisis on china have been extremely smalls, it still possible to focus our attention on changes and development of Chinese structure. This country suffered few losses in the short run whereas many projects (like the stimulus plan on 2008), reorganizations and reforms were planned in order to avoid contrary effects in the long run, both for real and financial economy. Finally, we will give a brief overview of the Dim Sum bond market aimed to internationalize the renminbi currency outside Mainland China and to lower the cost of capital. I Market-oriented or bank-oriented? Economic history and empirical economic analysis showed that the corporate finance was influenced by two different models of government in the financial market: the so-called market-oriented system, and the bank-oriented system or oriented intermediation.

  • "Panda Bonds: Measures and Guidelines for Foreign Investors" Legal Update
    Panda Bonds: Measures and Guidelines for foreign investors In the first half of 2018 the issuance of the so-called Panda Bonds amounted to RMB 51.49 billion, more than 70% of the total issuance in 2017 and, by the end of 2018, a total of 57 overseas institutions (mainly non-financial enterprises) have been registered or approved for bond issuance in the Chinese Interbank Bond Market (“CIBM”) with an approved issued amount of RMB 453.3 billion. As a preliminary remark, the term Panda Bond refers to bond denominated in renminbi, which a non- Chinese organization issues in China Mainland (Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan excluded) with the aim to raise capital from investors located in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The vigorous opening up of the Chinese bond market and the increasing number of overseas institutions allowed to issue Panda Bond has led Chinese government to promulgate new more sophisticated rules which officially abolish the old PRC legal framework of 2010 and have greater alignment with international practices. On September 8, 2018, the People's Bank of China ("PBOC") and the Ministry of Finance (“MOF”) jointly issued the Interim Measures of the Administration of Offshore Institutions' Bond Offering in National Interbank Bond Market (“Measures”). In addition, the National Association of Financial Market Institutional Investors (“NAFMII”) issued the Guidelines for Debt Financing Instrument Business of Overseas Non-financial Enterprises (for Trial Implementation) ("Guidelines"), immediately effective from the date of issuance, January 17, 2019. The Guidelines, to be read together with the Measures, set out major requirements and clarifications for overseas investors regarding the following three main aspects as: information disclosure, use of funds raised and requirements for intermediary agencies.
