Global Systemically Important Banks Deepen Operations in China Amid Expanding Financial Reforms In 2023, the Financial Stability Board (FSB) designated 29 banks as Global Systemically Important Banks (G-SIBs), underscoring their crucial roles in maintaining global financial stability. Notably, 24 of these banks now have substantial operations in China, marking the country's growing prominence in the global financial landscape and highlighting its commitment to economic openness. This expansion reflects China's active integration into international financial markets, creating unique opportunities for foreign institutions to deepen their presence. Broadening Market Presence and Economic Influence Among the G-SIBs, five Chinese banks—Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), China Construction Bank, Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, and Bank of Communications—play integral roles domestically and globally. ICBC, one of the world's largest banks, provides services ranging from international trade financing to capital market solutions. Each of these Chinese institutions is closely connected with both national enterprises and the global financial network, reflecting China's dynamic and evolving financial sector. At the same time, foreign G-SIBs like JP Morgan Chase, HSBC, and Deutsche Bank have leveraged this openness, offering a range of diversified services, including wealth management, project financing, and investment banking, across China. JP Morgan, for instance, supports Chinese firms in raising capital and accessing international markets by leveraging its expertise in equities and bonds. Similarly, HSBC aligns with China's strategic economic priorities, providing comprehensive banking solutions that span corporate, retail, and wealth management sectors, facilitating both domestic growth and cross-border financial interactions. #bond #foreignexchange #FDI #financialstability #ICBC #GSIB #HSBC #JPMorgan

China's Standardized Interest Rate Swap Market Hits ¥2.41 Trillion in Cleared Transactions China's standardized interest rate swap (IRS) market has achieved a cumulative cleared transaction volume exceeding ¥2.41 trillion, underscoring its rapid development since its launch in 2023. With 46 participating institutions spanning state-owned banks, joint-stock banks, foreign banks, securities firms, and asset managers, the market demonstrates significant progress in both scale and participant diversity. 🔎 Enhancing Risk Management with Innovative Financial Instruments Tied to the PrimeNCD3M benchmark, standardized IRS contracts serve as critical tools for managing short-term interest rate risks. These standardized derivatives enable commercial banks to lock in funding costs and mitigate asset-liability mismatches, while investment firms can enhance returns through effective risk hedging. 🔎 DBS China Leads Foreign Banks in Market Integration DBS Bank (China)'s entry as the first foreign bank into the standardized IRS market represents a landmark achievement. Leveraging its expertise in cross-border financial solutions and regional reach, DBS is facilitating greater foreign participation in China's interbank financial markets. The bank's use of IRS contracts to stabilize funding costs demonstrates the practical value of these instruments for international institutions, while its participation underscores China's commitment to financial market liberalization and international collaboration. #fund #Shanghai #ClearingHouse #DBSBank #interestrateswap #interbank

China has initiated a new round of inspections on major economic and financial regulators, as well as the big four state-owned banks, marking the latest step in Beijing’s revamp to keep close tabs on the sprawling industry. The 34 targets of the discipline inspections – a routine tool to identify corruption and ensure government agencies toe the Communist Party line, include China’s central bank (People's Bank of China), its banking (National Financial Regulatory Administration), securities (China Securities Regulatory Commission) and foreign exchange regulators (State Administration of Foreign Exchange), the top economic planner (National Development and Reform Commission) and the finance ministry (Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of China), the state-backed XInhua News Agency said on Monday. China’s five largest state banks – the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the Agricultural Bank of China, the Bank of China, China Construction Bank and the Bank of Communications Co.,Ltd. – two state-owned insurers and The Export-Import Bank of China will also open their doors for reviews by the country’s top anti-corruption body. They are the first inspections since President Xi Jinping said fending off financial risks were the “eternal theme” for Beijing and brought forward his financial superpower vision – with a variety of regulatory criteria and requirements in the pipeline – at the central financial work conference in October. The financial sector, including regulatory bodies and financial service firms, has traditionally been a key target for Beijing’s anti-corruption drive. On top of that, the top leadership has embarked on a sweeping remoulding of the world’s second-largest financial market and its 461 trillion yuan (US$63.7 trillion) asset pool.

IMF Managing Remittances Inflows with Foreign Exchange Intervention [6 September 2024] https://lnkd.in/gACgtT-z or https://lnkd.in/gdtmntsu In a 157 emerging markets and developing countries sample, remittances continue to grow fast, outpacing other financial inflows (as a share of GDP), particularly in Asia. Without alternative policy instruments, foreign exchange interventions (FXIs) have often been the authorities’ go-to tool to manage the short-term effects of these remittance inflows. However, this practice comes at a cost. This paper shows that FXIs are quick, temporary solutions that often may hinder the development of the recipient country’s financial sector and may not support financial stability over the medium term. The analysis suggests that FXIs act as an insurance tool that, by mitigating FX volatility, protect remittance recipients and tradable sectors from FX risks, encouraging less bank deposits (consistent with more spending) and lower buffers in the banking sector. These costs add to other direct FXI-related costs already identified in the literature. The development of private sector market risk management tools should support longer-term structural reforms required to increase the absorptive capacity of additional FX inflows.

The evolution of Asia's credit markets: Henry Kravis (19) | Globally, credit markets were traditionally dominated by banks and other financial institutions that provided loans primarily to large corporations and governments. The landscape began to change significantly in the 1980s with the advent of the high-yield bond market, pioneered by Michael Milken as mentioned in earlier entries. By the end of the 1980s, the U.S. high-yield bond market had grown to over $190 billion in outstanding debt, and it has continued to expand, peaking at $1.7 trillion by 2023.

In our – frequent and regular – peer group discussions on China, we nearly always end up talking about cash pooling. What, exactly, are the rules? And what is required? We ran a benchmark survey and held a peer discussion to clarify the situation, and come away with some clear guidance. Instead, we confirmed that the situation is not clear. One participant listed four different sets of applicable regulations – three from PBOC (People’s Bank of China), and one from SAFE (the State Administration of Foreign exchange). The survey also listed eight banks members use for pooling: each bank has a different way of interpreting the rules, so there is a truly impressive set of potential ways of doing things. Offers from banks include zero balancing, target balancing or even a centralised dynamic sequence – a form of notional pooling. So – apart from the obvious conclusion that the situation is complex, and that regulations in China are rarely totally clear – what can we say with certainty?...to read the rest of out 1,000 word commentary,please follow this link. https://lnkd.in/e6y78qMt By the way, if you sign up with CompleXCountries, you get commentaries like this one direct to your inbox. #China #CashPooling #HSBC #Citi #JPMorgan #BNPParibas #ICBC #ChinaConstructionBank #BankofChina

China Advances Capital Market Reform with Central Bank's Swap Facility At the 2024 Financial Street Forum Annual Conference on October 18, China's Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) Chairman Wu Qing announced a significant new initiative aimed at bolstering the country's capital market reform. The CSRC approved 20 securities and fund companies to access the central bank's newly introduced swap facility, marking a major step towards deepening financial market stability and liquidity. Wu outlined a series of measures designed to enhance the financial system's capacity to support economic recovery. He emphasized the importance of boosting financial supply, particularly from institutions, to stimulate both the supply and demand sides of the economy. Addressing bottlenecks in credit provision was a key focus, with Wu underscoring the critical role banks play as the primary financing channel. He stressed that successful financing hinges on banks being "willing, able, and proactive" in their lending practices. #capitalmarket #PBOC #CSRC #SFISF #bank #financing

Liquidity conditions at China’s non-bank financial institutions have tightened this month as traders redeemed cash to ride the upswing in local shares. That’s widened the gap between the funding costs of non-bank financial institutions and banks. The differential has remained large after rising to a six-month high on Oct. 9. The main reason for the funding squeeze at non-bank firms is redemptions faced by their wealth management companies, according to Zhaopeng Xing, senior strategist at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group. “Gains in bond yields led to an increase in redemptions of wealth management products and bond funds, which is also exacerbated by the jump in stocks.” Investors are making a beeline for Chinese stocks as the outlook for the economy improves following a raft of measures from authorities to rebuild confidence. Meanwhile, traders have turned lukewarm on bonds amid concern over heavy sovereign debt supply as a red-hot rally petered out. Chinese Wealth management products, a majority of which invest in bonds, saw an outflow of 207 billion yuan ($29.1 billion) last week, according to China Merchants Securities Co. That compares with sales of 67 billion yuan in the previous week. “There may be rising funding needs due to equity leverage especially for non-bank financial institutions,” said Becky Liu, head of China macro strategy at Standard Chartered Plc.
