China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission outlines 15th Five-Year priorities centred on risk prevention and stronger financial supervision

The China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission convened a system-wide televised briefing on implementing the Communist Party of China 20th Central Committee Fourth Plenum decisions and the Central Committee’s recommendations for formulating the Fifteenth Five-Year Plan. Party Secretary and Director Li Yunze used the session to set expectations for the regulator’s work agenda, framing it around preventing risks, strengthening supervision and supporting high-quality development. The briefing emphasised maintaining the Party’s centralised and unified leadership over financial work and advancing full and strict Party self-governance. Operational priorities highlighted included preventing and defusing financial risks in key areas, comprehensively strengthening financial regulation, optimising the financial institution system, and coordinating work on the financial sector’s “five major articles”, alongside completing key tasks under the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan and preparing the regulator’s programme for the Fifteenth Five-Year period. The address called for agencies across the system to rapidly organise study, communication and thematic publicity activities and to ensure full implementation of the Plenum’s arrangements.
