Abstract

ABSTRACT The Chinese economy shows a remarkable resemblance to those of pre-crisis Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea and Malaysia - especially the asset bubbles, high reliance on banking intermediation, poor prudential supervision, and fragility of the financial system. Yet, China defied the common prediction and did not succumb to the financial crisis. What explains the China ability to withstand a major region-wide financial crisis? This study addresses this complex question, besides elaborating the reform measures China must implement to immune itself from future financial crises or its contagion effects.RESUMO A economia chinesa mostra uma notável semelhança com as da Tailândia, Indonésia, Coreia do Sul e Malásia antes da crise - especialmente as bolhas de ativos, alta dependência de intermediação bancária, má supervisão prudencial e fragilidade do sistema financeiro. No entanto, a China desafiou a previsão comum e não sucumbiu à crise financeira. O que explica a capacidade da China de suportar uma grande crise financeira em toda a região? Este estudo aborda essa questão complexa, além de elaborar as medidas de reforma que a China deve implementar para se imunizar contra futuras crises financeiras ou seus efeitos de contágio.
