Nov 13 — Wang Shengbang, chief legal officer and director of the Regulations Department at China’s Financial Regulatory Administration, told the 17th Caixin Summit that discussions of economic-financial alignment have emphasized effects on economic growth while underweighting impacts on financial stability.

Wang also noted the 15th Five-Year Plan calls for financial institutions to focus on core businesses, improve governance and pursue differentiated development, so assessments of economic‑financial fit should consider growth and stability together.
