The People's Bank of China convened its 2026 Financial Rule of Law Work Conference, reviewing progress made in 2025 and setting out its priorities for strengthening the central bank’s legal and enforcement framework in 2026. The agenda focuses on accelerating key financial legislation, building a more complete legal and regulatory system, and further standardising administrative law enforcement. In its 2025 review, the meeting cited advances in legislation including work on the People’s Bank of China Law and the Financial Stability Law, continued clean-up of rules and normative documents, and improved standardisation and efficiency of law enforcement inspections and administrative penalties. For 2026, priorities include faster progress on key financial legislation and business-area system building, improvements to the administrative governance framework and the rule-of-law basis of enforcement, steady handling of administrative reconsideration with greater emphasis on front-end governance, and stronger legal service support, research, legal education and rule-of-law talent development.
