International Experience and Reference of China's Financial Regulatory System Reform

Abstract

Since the 1970s, in order to reduce financial risks in the context of fast-paced growing financial industry, China has been implementing reforms to its financial regulatory structure. In 2023, the State Administration for Financial Supervision and Administration was officially established, bringing China closer to mixed industry regulation. Currently, there are multiple types of financial regulation on a global scale, including segmented regulation, single regulation, functional regulation, and bimodal regulation. Given the rapid development of China's financial market, it is imperative to draw on better international expertise, innovate domestic regulatory framework, and persist pursuing bimodal regulatory mode under the mixed industry background. By implementing the bimodal regulation of macro prudential regulation and micro behavioral regulation, China is managing to control financial risks, protect investors lawful rights and interests, and foster the long-term and stable expansion of China's financial industry
