  • Preliminary Thesis Outline
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS LOCAL GOVERNMENT FINANCING VEHICLES (LGFVS) – A LENS OF THE POTENTIAL FINANCIAL INSTABILITY IN CHINA YIYANG ZENG SRPING 2014 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in economics and sociology with honors in economics Reviewed and approved* by the following: Ruilin Zhou Associate Professor of Economics Thesis Supervisor Russell Chuderewicz Senior Lecturer of Economics Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT China has experienced rapid credit expansion since late 2008 as the result of its response to the 2007-2009 global financial crisis. 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.

  • Wealth Management Products and Issuing Banks' Risk in China
    In the Shadow of Banks: Wealth Management Products and Issuing Banks’ Risk in China* Viral V. Acharya Jun “QJ” Qian Zhishu Yang New York University, and Shanghai Adv. Inst. of Finance School of Economics and Mgmt. Reserve Bank of India Shanghai Jiao Tong University Tsinghua University [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] This Draft: February 10, 2017 Abstract To support China’s massive stimulus plan in response to the global financial crisis in 2008, large state-owned banks pumped huge volume of new loans into the economy and also grew more aggressive in the deposit markets. The extent of supporting the plan was different across the ‘Big Four’ banks, creating a plausibly exogenous shock in the local deposit market to small and medium-sized banks (SMBs) facing differential competition from the Big Four banks. We find that SMBs significantly increased shadow banking activities after 2008, most notably by issuing wealth management products (WMPs). The scale of issuance is greater for banks that are more constrained by on-balance sheet lending and face greater competition in the deposit market from local branches of the most rapidly expanding big bank. The WMPs impose a substantial rollover risk for issuers when they mature, as reflected by the yields on new products, the issuers’ behavior in the inter-bank market, and the adverse effect on stock prices following a credit crunch. Overall, the swift rise of shadow banking in China seems to be triggered by the stimulus plan and has contributed to the greater fragility of the banking system.
