  • 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.

  • Chapter 1 Section 3
    SECTION 3: GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN CHINA’S FINANCIAL SYSTEM Introduction This section provides an overview of China’s financial system, covering strains in the state banking system; the growth of the shadow banking sector and access to credit; market access issues and operational challenges for foreign financial services firms; and governance, transparency and accountability problems in China’s financial sector. It is based on witness testimonies from the Com- mission’s March 7, 2013, hearing; information from the Commis- sion’s fact-finding trips to China, Japan, and Taiwan; and addi- tional staff research. China’s Banking System and Access to Credit and Capital China’s 12th Five-Year Plan (2011–2015) calls for less depend- ence on exports and state-funded infrastructure projects and more domestic consumption to support China’s economy. This shift from government-led to private-led growth necessarily requires that Chi- nese families and private sector businesses have sufficient access to credit and capital. Private small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) already contribute 60 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) and 80 percent of urban employment, according to some esti- mates.1,2 Yet bank lending, the traditional source of credit for en- trepreneurs and startups in most countries, is largely inaccessible to Chinese individuals and SMEs, because China’s financial system is dominated by large, state-owned banks that mainly service gov- ernment-directed projects and state-owned enterprises. A shadow banking system of unofficial credit has sprung up to fill the gaps left by the big banks’ lending practices, but it is largely unregu- lated, and the proliferation of shadow banking activity poses threats to the country’s financial stability.* Chinese State Banks Chinese banks hold a unique position.

Executive Summary z The Chinese government has lifted approximately 400 million people out of poverty in the past 25 years through encouragement of economic development. In the first 25-year phase of development, these efforts were mainly directed at Eastern and Southern China. z The income gap has been widening as wealth grows in selected areas. As the seaboard areas accumulate ever greater wealth, China’s poor are becoming more concentrated in the west, in regions which have been traditionally difficult to access. However, as costs of operation rise on the seaboard, entrepreneurs are beginning to look to Western and Central China to invest where costs are lower, taking advantage of transport and communications infrastructure laid down in the past five years. z At least 228 million rural inhabitants are unable to obtain financial services, and the challenge of addressing this problem is firmly on the agenda of the national “San Nong” program to improve agricultural practices, the lives of the farmers, and the quality of life in the village.
