In recent years, China’s financial sector has witnessed a high growth trend. This trend has been caused by several reasons: the traditional macro-control tools do not match the new normal characteristics of China’s economy growth, the regulatory reform is lagging behind the rapid progress of financial innovation, and the drastic fluctuations of the stock market are combined with a new round of increase in real
estate price. In particular, this round of high growth in the financial sector occurs in the context of a rapid decline of manufacturing sector, which reflects the low efficiency of financial operations. It also means the foundation of financial stability and sustainable development is losing and high risks are coming. To deal with this change properly, we need to further deepen financial reform and improve financial supervision, and create a favorable financial environment for the real economy. At the same time, researchers should also reflect on and study the characteristics of China’s financial development, and provide the theoretical basis for maintaining financial security.
