Inside China's Shadow Banking Joe Zhang

The term "shadow banking" typically refers to the wideranging financial activities which occur outside of traditional banking. Shadow banking activities span every country in the world. In a survey of 26 major countries, the Financial Stability Board found that the amount of money in shadow banking equaled USD67 trillion which was more than the combined GDP of those countries. In China, shadow banking accounts for more than 20 trillion Renminbi and more than 20% of the country's GDP. Shadow banking involves banks, nonbank financial institutions, and curbmarket financiers and the events in shadow banking can have a huge, and potentially damaging, effect on the larger financial world.

Is shadow banking in China likely to become the source of the next global financial crisis or simply a little understood area of the enormous Mainland economy? Financial industry expert Joe Zhang pulls back the curtain on this sector and explains how shadow banking in China impacts the regional and world economies.

Within shadow banking, China's microcredit industry is an area of tremendous interest for most business analysts. In Inside China's Shadow Banking: The Next Subprime Crisis?, Joe Zhang pinpoints the areas of concern based on his experience in the field and his knowledge of the complicated rules and regulations of banking in China gathered during his years as an official of the central People's Bank of China in Beijing.

Drawing on his time spent at UBS, as well as the work of prominent economists, Joe Zhang explains shadow banking and microcredit in China for investors, economists, laypeople, and the general public.

Recovering from the Global Financial Crisis Marianne Ojo

Why are some global financial crises more difficult to recover from than others? What steps are necessary to insure that recovery is initiated and financial stability restored? These are just some of the questions which this book attempts to address. It also provides insights into why global financial crises have become more complicated to address than was previously the case. This book contends that pro cyclicality and capital measures should not be the sole focus of the G20s initiatives. It recognizes that other important issues, such as liquidity risks and requirements have, to a large extent, constituted the focus of international standard setters and regulators. This book also covers previously ignored issues such as the 'cartelization' of capital markets. The need and concern for increased regulation of bond, equity markets, as well as other complex financial instruments which can be traded in OTC (Over theCounter) derivatives markets is evidenced by Basel III s focus and also addressed within. 'Cartelization' and organized activities relating to raterigging in global capital markets have been evidenced recently by sophisticated EURIBOR and LIBOR raterigging practices and incidents, is covered as well. Direct regulators, central bank officials and supervisors, academics, business and legal professionals and other relevant interested parties in the field are among those who will benefit from the insights provided in this book.
