’This is a very timely book. With the recapitalization and reform
of China’s banking sector now well under way, the banks are on the
brink of a new era of growth and expansion. This work is the
definitive reference on the banking sector in China, and is an
essential tool for anyone seeking to understand the dynamics of
financial intermediation on the Mainland. It sets out the facts,
free of the judgment calls that so often cloud the true picture of
the health of China’s banking system.’
–Dr. David K.P. Li, Chairman and Chief Executive, The Bank of East
Asia, Limited
'As China continues its impressive pace of economic growth, the
rest of the world is constantly reassessing the opportunities and
challenges it presents. This book is the first official report on
the status of China’s financial services industry and financial
markets. For the first time, the international community gets
access to the same information that the Chinese government uses in
making key policies. Such unique insights make this book an
essential read for business leaders, investors, policy makers,
scholars, and anyone who is interested in understanding China’s
profound impact on businesses and consumers globally.’
–Maurice R. Greenberg, Chairman & CEO, C.V. Starr &
Co.
'This is the first book that introduces all aspects of the Chinese
banking and financial markets to international audiences. From its
developmental history to its contemporary challenges, China’s
banking and finance markets are presented, explored and analyzed
with great detail and in great depth. Both the richness of the data
and the scholarly strength of the methodology are a milestone.
China’s increasing participation in global financial markets makes
this book a must read for all financial professionals
worldwide.’
–Lefei Liu, Chief Investment Officer, China Life Insurance
