China’s Financial Risks

The Trustee Chair aims to advance understanding of the key risk factors plaguing China’s complex financial system and to shed light on how these risks impact the United States and other global economies.

With lingering effects from the COVID-19 pandemic and an overburden real estate sector, China’s road to economic recovery and financial stability remains rocky. The Trustee Chair aims to advance understanding of the key risks plaguing China’s complex financial system and to shed light on how these risks affect the United States, other countries, and the global economic system. Trustee Chair experts provide qualitative and quantitative analysis on China’s financial credibility, offer risk diagnostics, and provide potential pathways to improve the U.S.-China economic relationship.

This project is made possible through generous support to CSIS.
