Over the last ten years we have seen some dramatic changes in the Chinese economy and financial markets.

• The challenges and opportunities of interest rate liberalisation and regulatory changes have raised concerns about China’s ability to restructure and reform.

• By assessing and understanding counterparty exposure Chinese credit risks can be reduced.
