Serving the real economy is the duty of finance. It is the purpose of and the fundamental measure of finance to prevent financial risks. --Xi Jinping, President of PRC, National Financial Work Conference,June 2017 Throughout this survey report: ‘China’ refers to the mainland of the People’s Republic of China, ‘Hong Kong’ refers to Hong Kong Special Administrative Region 2 FOREWORD The 2008 financial crisis was a watershed moment for the reputation of financial services around the world. In North America and Europe it was a period characterised by bail-outs and institutional insolvencies while ushering in the “Global Financial Crisis (GFC)” or “great recession.” However, in November 2008 China launched the “great stimulus”. This ensured that most of East Asia was only tangentially affected by the GFC. Ten years ago China represented 6% of global GDP, while today it is close to 16%. But success was achieved by reliance on debt which impacts the Chinese economy to this day. China’s financial services industry did not suffer the same kind of deep, long-term John Russell reputational damage that occurred in the US and the EU. Still, the legacy of the crisis Managing Director and efforts to mitigate its worst effects live on. North Head Leverage and shadow banking are now being addressed through campaigns to reduce financial risks and tackle indebtedness. The regulatory tightening and liquidity squeeze are creating headwinds for financial institutions and narrowing options for policy-makers. Nonetheless, efforts to modernise and open-up the financial system continue, creating opportunities for both foreign and domestic investors. While some financial sectors remain underdeveloped, the industry has seen rapid growth and transformation overall. The sophistication of its fintech ecosystem is unmatched elsewhere. Consumers are early adopters of technology, leapfrogging from cash to digital payments and savings accounts to digital wealth management. The rise of an affluent class, demographic trends, and opening-up of China’s financial services market point to a strong growth outlook for the sector. Yet, a stream of negative publicity has hurt the image of financial services, including defaults of peer-to-peer (P2P) lenders, data breaches, stock market volatility and fraudulent practice by asset managers. Trust and reputation emerge as priority attributes. This survey bears important practical guidelines for those seeking to win over increasingly sophisticated Chinese consumers in a fluid and increasingly competitive marketplace. The index also shows that trust levels vary significantly across different sectors and consumer groups, with particular concerns and sensitivities quite different from other markets in the region. I hope the findings will be useful to companies and individuals working in financial services in China. But more so, I hope they highlight where greater focus is required and what companies need to do to advance their reputations. 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS Overall, North Head’s survey paints a positive picture. Young optimists & old cynics 83% of Chinese consumers had a favourable perception Chinese consumers were more polarised in their of the industry. However, there is a large variation of attitudes to financial services. Younger people trust levels across specific financial sectors.

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.
