(Central News Agency, reporter Li Yawen, Taipei, 9th) China's National Financial Regulatory Administration (NFRA) has demanded the promotion of risk resolution for local small and medium-sized financial institutions, holding the line against any 'explosion' (referring to avoiding major financial risk events), leveraging the 'white list' system for ensuring housing project delivery, and accelerating the formulation of a financing system that adapts to the new real estate development model.
Real estate risks and financial risks are highly correlated, and Chinese authorities are committed to preventing systemic financial risks. According to information on the NFRA's official website, the NFRA Party Committee recently held an enlarged meeting, demanding an enhanced sense of responsibility and urgency in preventing and resolving financial risks.
The meeting first called for steadily advancing the resolution of risks in local small and medium-sized financial institutions, resolutely holding the line against any 'explosion' (avoiding major financial risk events), leveraging the role of the 'white list' system for ensuring housing project delivery (providing financing support to compliant real estate projects), and accelerating the formulation of a financing system that adapts to the new real estate development model.
The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to cooperate in resolving local government debt risks and support the exit and transformation of financing platforms. It called for fully leveraging the comprehensive platform of the inter-ministerial joint meeting, achieving cross-departmental collaborative governance, continuously improving the effectiveness of preventing and combating illegal financial activities, comprehensive governance, and systemic governance, and preventing external shock risks.
The meeting emphasized the importance of supervision, including strict supervisory accountability to enforce responsibility. The meeting called for strengthening the construction of the supervisory system, comprehensively promoting the improvement of supervisory rules and regulations, enhancing supervisory capabilities, promoting the delegation of supervisory responsibilities to the county level, and strengthening central-local coordination and departmental linkage.
The meeting demanded the promotion of high-quality development in the industry, vigorously promoting differentiated development, complementary advantages, and leveraging the strengths of various institutions. It called for promoting the reduction in quantity and improvement in quality of small and medium-sized financial institutions, optimizing institutional layouts according to local conditions, rectifying disorderly competition in the financial field, and shifting the development orientation from pursuing speed and scale to focusing on quality and efficiency, continuously enhancing core competitiveness.
'We must do a good job in major security work,' the meeting concluded, demanding the firm establishment of a holistic view of national security, conducting investigations and rectifications of hidden dangers in key areas, implementing industry safety production responsibilities, urging the strengthening of emergency financial services, and effectively maintaining the overall stability of the economy and society.
The downturn in China's real estate sector is dragging down economic growth, with related industries such as construction, sales, landscape design, and home furnishings all affected. Many Chinese families have invested their savings in real estate, and falling housing prices and a deteriorating employment environment have further dampened consumer confidence. The land finance that local governments have long relied on is also facing difficulties, and Chinese authorities are focused on preventing systemic financial risks brought about by the real estate sector.
