China pushes for more bank mergers to make financial sector shockproof

China pushes for more bank mergers to make financial sector shockproof

China is moving forward with its plans to strengthen its financial sector by consolidating banks and brokerages to improve resilience against economic shocks. According to data from China’s National Financial Regulatory Administration, nearly 5% of rural banks in the country have closed in the past year as part of a comprehensive restructuring effort following a property crisis.

S&P Global Ratings reported that mergers have been occurring or are in progress among Chinese securities companies managing over 20% of the sector’s assets since late 2023. The goal of this consolidation campaign is to create a few robust financial entities capable of competing with global giants like JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley. President Xi Jinping has emphasized the need to develop top-tier investment banks and entities to enhance financial services for the real economy.

Experts believe that a financial system with larger banks and brokerages will help shape China’s financial policies during economic transitions and reduce systemic risks. The accelerated pace of mergers indicates that authorities believe the worst risks in the financial system have been mitigated, allowing for further reforms to support China’s growth.

Ryan Tsang, managing director at S&P Global Ratings, stated that the consolidation process is likely to span a decade and aims to not only reduce the number of institutions but also strengthen their risk management capabilities. Recent efforts to reduce financial risks include closing insolvent rural banks, addressing debt issues in the property sector, and restructuring local government debt.

As China seeks to reshape its economy and reduce the number of banks, the focus is on rural banks that manage a small percentage of the country’s total assets. Brokerages have also faced challenges due to decreased deal flows, leading to potential shake-ups within the sector. In Shanghai, regulators are encouraging a merger between two prominent investment banks, Guotai Junan and Haitong Securities, overseen by the local state-owned asset manager Sasac.

Looking ahead, analysts anticipate more consolidation among state-owned brokerages, trust companies, and financial leasing groups as policymakers aim to create leaner and more competitive financial institutions. As Beijing navigates a volatile global economy, greater government involvement in banking decisions, international lending, debt restructuring in Belt and Road countries, and the use of the renminbi are expected.

The restructuring of China’s financial institutions aligns with the country’s defensive strategy to empower and rationalize the finance industry in the face of potential conflicts with the US financial establishment. This proactive approach aims to strengthen China’s position in the global financial landscape and ensure sustainable growth in the long run.
