The Chinese government is committed to further financial sector reform, believing that market-driven interest rates and profit-minded institutions are central pillars of efficient capital allocation and continued economic growth.

The government, regulators and banks will all look to strike a balance between free markets and government control, aiming to spur economic growth while restraining unhealthy financial risk.
Despite the various obstacles and complications, two powerful forces are at work: the government’s push to create a sustainable domestic growth model and the desire of investors to benefit from the higher yields of liberalised markets. Together they demonstrate China’s aspiration for more market-driven interest rates, better access to capital and greater investment choice.
