Chart of the Week: Shadow banking in China more than doubled since 2012

Shadow banking assets reached US$9.5t in 2016, but growth is finally slowing down.

The pace of shadow banking growth is still considered to be rapid, but it has seen a slowdown from the 30% rate recorded in 2015. According to Moody's estimates, shadow banking assets grew by over 20% in 2016 to reach RMB 64 trillion (US$9.5t), equivalent to 86.5% of GDP.

"We estimate the difference between our broad measure of shadow banking and the portion captured by TSF to be nearly RMB 23 trillion at end-2016 (vs. RMB 17 trillion at end-2015), or 35% of total shadow banking assets. In the Financial Stability Report released on July 4, authorities for the first time have acknowledged the existence of the shadow credit not captured by TSF, underscoring the challenges on regulating the broad shadow banking sector," added Moody's.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
