Abstract:
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?
On December 11, 2014, the Brookings-Tsinghua Center is hosting a public talk on the Chinese financial system and its reform, featuring Douglas J. Elliott, a fellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution. He 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.
Douglas Elliott is a fellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution, and also a member of the Initiative on Business and Public Policy. He principally focuses on the financial sector worldwide and its regulation. He is also an expert on pensions and on the euro zone and its economic and financial governance. He was a financial institutions investment banker for two decades and was the founder and principal researcher for the Center on Federal Financial Institutions.
The seminar will be followed by Q&A session. Working language will be English.
