BEIJING, May 18 (Zhongxin Finance Gong Hongyu Xie Yiguan) On the morning of May 18, the State Financial Supervision and Administration was officially unveiled at No.15, Beijing Financial Street.
As a red curtain slowly falls, China’s new round of institutional reform in the field of financial supervision has taken an important step.
What’s the function?
According to the "Party and State Institutional Reform Plan", the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau is responsible for the supervision of the financial industry except the securities industry, strengthening institutional supervision, behavioral supervision, functional supervision, penetrating supervision and continuous supervision, coordinating the protection of financial consumers’ rights and interests, strengthening risk management and preventive disposal, and investigating and handling illegal acts according to law, as an institution directly under the State Council.
The State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau was established on the basis of the Bank of China Insurance Regulatory Commission, and the daily supervision duties of the People’s Bank of China on financial holding companies and other financial groups, the protection duties of financial consumers and the investor protection duties of the China Securities Regulatory Commission were assigned to the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau.
At the same time, the Bank of China Insurance Regulatory Commission is no longer retained, and the supervision pattern of "one line, two meetings" has become a thing of the past.
What’s the point?
In the eyes of many market analysts, the establishment of the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau is based on the background that China’s separate supervision system is not suitable for the comprehensive operation trend of the financial industry, and the communication between financial supervision departments is not smooth and coordination is insufficient.
Dong Ximiao, chief researcher of Zhaolian, said that in recent years, after a period of rapid development, China’s financial industry has generated and accumulated certain financial risks, which has affected financial development and stability to some extent.
This year’s government work report pointed out that major economic and financial risks should be effectively prevented and resolved, and the prevention of regional and systemic financial risks should be emphasized.
Ming Ming, chief economist of CITIC Securities, said that the establishment of the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau can form a joint regulatory force in a timely and effective manner in the face of risk events, and gradually establish a regulatory framework that conforms to the innovative development characteristics of modern financial mixed operations, keep the bottom line of systemic financial risks and standardize the trading behavior between financial institutions and investors.
In addition, Dong Ximiao mentioned that after the reform of the financial supervision system, the "double peaks" supervision with China characteristics has further revealed its clues — — The People’s Bank of China is mainly responsible for monetary policy and macro-prudential supervision; The State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau is responsible for the supervision of the financial industry except the securities industry and the protection of the rights and interests of financial consumers. The CSRC is responsible for the supervision of the capital market and increasing the responsibilities of auditing the issuance of corporate bonds.
After the re-allocation of functions, Dong Ximiao believes that the unified responsibility of the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau for financial supervision except the securities industry will help reduce regulatory gaps and regulatory overlap, and implement behavioral supervision and functional supervision.
