Shadow Banking in China: Institutional Risks

  • Jianjun Li
  • Sara Hsu

Abstract

The authors examine China’s shadow banking institutions for financial risks. They use a bank stress test to analyze solvency risk for the systemically important financial institutions and the banking system as a whole. They find that there is some risk of bankruptcy and potentially a risk of liquidity shortages, for which they lack sufficient data to run a stress test. They conclude with policy recommendations.
