What is Shadow Banking?
A complicated and sometimes opaque financial system that coexists with traditional banking is referred to as ‘shadow banking’. This system includes a number of operations including lending, borrowing, and financial intermediation carried out by organisations outside of the regular banking sector. These organisations assist the flow of capital from investors to real estate, infrastructure, and other economic sectors. The local government finances, household assets, and shadow banking all interact in China’s property sector, which makes up an estimated one-fourth of the country’s GDP.
