The financial system plays an important role in fueling the rapid expansion of China’s economy. As China has grown to be the second largest economy in the world, its economic development has significant ramification for the global economy. Along with the new round of comprehensively deepening reform, China is now experiencing an economic slowdown that raised concerns abroad and drew more attention to the Chinese financial system and its reform. What are the challenges ahead for the Chinese financial system in transition? And how will China’s financial reforms affect the rest of the world?

Douglas J. Elliott, a fellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution, will provide observations on the current state of China’s financial system, the key challenges it faces and how China’s planned reforms and possible future reforms would handle these challenges.
