Shadow banking has grown significantly, raising concerns over lack of regulatory oversight.
These firms commonly operated with less oversight than conventional lenders, which could create blind spots, according to Zhang Tao, BIS chief representative for Asia and Pacific regions. BIS, a Switzerland-based institution that is often dubbed the “bank of central banks”, said in its report that the system could unwind far more rapidly in a downturn. “If the market has any sort of correction, the interconnectedness of the financial system and interplay of vulnerabilities could mean the speed of a correction could be much faster than previous banking crisis episodes,” Zhang said in an interview with the South China Morning Post in Hong Kong.
