China's Banking and Financial Markets: The Internal Research Report of the Chinese Government Hardcover - 2007

From the rear cover

China's Banking and Financial Markets: The Internal Research Report of the Chinese Government brings to international English-language audiences, for the first time, the only annual publication of the Chinese government on the contemporary development of its banking and financial markets and industries. Prepared by the Institute of Finance & Banking and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, this book represents the research reports of the Chinese government.

In order to fully understand China's banking and finance industries, one needs to appreciate China's challenges and opportunities. Many of the developments in China's financial sector will have a significant effect on its economic, social and political trends. Hence it is vital that international leaders-executives, practitioners, scholars and analysts-have access to the same level of data and descriptions, and the same depth of critical analyses, that are made available in China. This will greatly help the process of solidifying and standardizing state-of-the-art thinking among leadership on the country's continuing commitment to reform and opening up. Such access is the purpose of this book.

Some of the key areas covered in this book are:

• China's Macroeconomic Overview
• Financial Industry Performance and Monetary Policy Operation
• Financial Institutions
• Banking Industry
• Insurance Industry
• Stock Exchange Market
• Futures Exchange Market
• Balance of Payments and Exchange Rate Reform

This book is the definitive source for statistics, analyses, discussions, policies, challenges, and future directions on China's banking and financial markets. It is a must-read for all those who work in the worldwide finance and banking industries and who have any dealings with China.
