Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine recent developments pertaining to China’s shadow banking sector. Shadow banking has the potential not only to be a beneficial contributor to continued economic growth, but also to contribute to systematic instability if not properly monitored and regulated. An assessment is made in this paper as to whether shadow banking is beneficial or harmful to China’s economic growth. Design/methodology/approach – The authors start with providing an overview of shadow banking from a global perspective, with information on its recent growth and importance in selected countries. The authors then focus directly on China’s shadow banking sector, with information on the various entities and activities that comprise the sector. Specifically, the authors examine the interconnections between shadow banking and regular banking in China and the growth in shadow banking to overall economic growth, the growth in the money supply and the growth in commercial bank assets. Findings – Despite the wide range in the estimates, the trend in the size of shadow banking in China has been upward over the examined period. There are significant interconnections between the shadow banking sector and the commercial banking sector. Low deposit rate and high reserve requirement ratios have been the major factors driving its growth. Shadow banking has been a contributor, along with money growth, to economic growth. Practical implications – The authors argue that shadow banking may prove useful by diversifying China’s financial sector and providing greater investments and savings opportunities to consumers and businesses throughout the country, if the risks of shadow banking are adequately monitored and controlled. Originality/value – To the authors’ knowledge, this paper is among the few to systematically evaluate the influence of shadow banking on China’s economic growth.

Solvency II is the new European Union (EU) legislation that will review the capital adequacy regime for the insurance industry. Considerable progress has been made in the banking sector with the implementation of the Basel Accords (Basel). The implementation of Solvency II, therefore, brings with it an opportunity for the insurance industry to assess the successes, weaknesses and shortcomings experienced by the banking sector's implementation of Basel so as to learn from them and ensure that Solvency II's implementation duplicates the successes and avoids the failures of Basel's. This article critically explores weaknesses and failures of Basel which were exacerbated and/or exploited by the financial crisis of 2007-2010 and provides advice on how these might be mitigated or avoided in the implementation of Solvency II.

We have concentrated on the current issues linked to the goals of banking regulation and supervision. Attention has been focused mainly on the problem of entry into and exit form the banking sector and the institutional framework banking supervision as a whole. Although we are aware that the present situation in emerging markets is far from that of standard economies, we argue that remarkable progress has been made in creating an appropriate banking system since the beginning of the 1996.


Subject Chinese banks in Panama. Significance The world’s largest bank, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), is likely to open its doors in Panama this year as part of a new era of cooperation between the countries following the Panamanian government’s decision last year to abandon its long-standing support of Taiwan and begin diplomatic relations with China. Impacts Chinese banks will be keen to tap into the financing opportunities offered by Panama’s investment projects. The Panamanian government will encourage these banks to participate in public tenders for infrastructure projects. Despite recent improvements, Panama’s banking sector will still expose incomers to considerable reputational risk.
