Five Steps to Reform
1. Assess the strengths and weaknesses of the financial system
2. Determine the desired future shape of the system
how flexible?
how open?
3. Assess compliance with international standards
4. Review the structural options
5. Map them against local market conditions

4. Review the Structural Options
Four main models in operation elsewhere• ‘3 pillars’: banking, securities and insurance
separately regulated• ‘Twin Peaks’: separation of prudential and
conduct of business regulation• ‘Hybrid’: where two or more sectors are
regulated together• ‘Integrated’: a single regulator covering most
or all of the financial sector.
There is no clear consensus about which model is ‘best’.
Structure of Supervision in 77 Countries, 2002 Agency supervising two types of financial intermediaries

There is a trend towards integrated regulation for a number of reasons
- growth of financial supermarkets
- risk transfer between sectors
- attractions of ‘one-stop shopping’

5. Map options against local market conditions
China now operates a ‘3 pillar’ model, butwith banking supervision outside the centralbank• suitable where there is little ‘cross-sectoral’
activity• also where a single agency might be seen to be
‘too powerful’• and where sheer scale makes effective
management difficult.
Regulatory Reform in China is under way
- - 3 commissions: CBRC, CSRC, CIRC
- International Advisory Councils
- - Training
- Culture of challenge
- Overarching body to resolve inconsistencies and promote co-operation
An integrated regulator might be more appropriate if
• banks are allowed to undertake other activities: universal banking
• derivatives markets develop, allowing risks to be transferred between sectors
• multi-functional overseas firms enter the markets on a large scale
