A Study on China’s Deleveraging and Financial Stability Under the Background of Financial Globalization

This paper studies the impact of financial globalization and leverage ratio on China’s financial stability. After the 2008 financial crisis, maintaining the stability of the financial system is China’s core task. However, due to the increasing degree of China’s opening up policy, the risk of foreign shock is increasing. Meanwhile the domestic policy of deleverage is implemented, so the superposition of domestic and foreign situations aggravates the uncertainty of financial stability. Therefore, this paper selects the relevant variables to empirically study the real impact of financial globalization and leverage ratio on China’s financial stability through VAR model. The results show that the indicators of financial stability are most affected by their own inertia, and the deepening of financial globalization and the increasing of leverage ratio will have a positive effect on financial stability at the beginning, but in the later stage it fluctuates a lot. Based on the findings, the China government should put more emphasis on dealing with the relationship between leverage ratio, foreign risks and financial stability when making domestic financial policies.
