CHINA: The China Banking Regulatory Commission, the top banking regulator, is

planning to strengthen regulation of commercial banks' liquidity management.

According to a draft released Wednesday by the CBRC to solicit public opinion,

the new regulation would introduce three new standards for the assessment of

liquidity: net stable funding ratio (NSFR) for commercial banks possessing

assets above CNY200 billion; a high-quality liquid asset adequacy ratio for

commercial banks with assets below CNY200 billion; and a liquidity matching

ratio for all commercial banks. The CBRC said it will release details of the

relevant liquidity management requirements, including inter-day liquidity and

funding management. The new regulation is due to take effect on March 1, 2018.
