China's Financial Interlinkages and Implications For Inter-Agency Coordination

China's financial system has become very large, diversified, and interconnected.

The paper argues that, to address the potential systemic risks, Chinese authorities should further strengthen internal coordination, notably by institutionalizing better information collection and sharing among regulators, as well as enhancing coordinated and comprehensive analysis of systemic risk.
