Because of the vast and growing economic powerhouse that is China today, businesses and other investors worldwide are looking more and more to that country's resources. Correspondingly, the Chinese government has developed (and continues to develop) a unique and complex system of banking law and regulation that merits the close attention of anyone doing business in China.In this authoritative book, a leading Chinese expert on financial and economic law thoroughly explains the functions, activities and procedures that characterize the behaviour of financial institutions under current Chinese law. Organizing his presentation under three overarching headings - central banking law, domestic banking law, and foreign banking law - he describes such crucial distinctions and clarifications as the following in detail: control of monetary policy formulation and implementation by the People's Bank of China (PBOC); modern central banking functions of the PBOC; independence and accountability of the PBOC; requirements and procedures for banking entry; specific risk-based regulatory and supervisory requirements of the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC); problem bank resolutions of the CBRC; foreign banking law developments before and post WTO transitional period; and impact of new foreign banking regulations and rules on foreign bank activities in China."Banking Laws in China" is an essential guide for international bankers and their counsel, and a welcome source of important information and insight for business persons interested in the Chinese market or Chinese resources, as well as for international business lawyers. Academics in banking law and related economic disciplines will also find much to interest them here.
