[Purpose of the article]This article is about the regulations on the local financial supervision system and coordination mechanism

 

【Interpretation】

 

1. Local financial regulatory system

 

On the premise that finance belongs to the central authority, granting a certain limit and scope of financial regulatory power to local governments has become our country's response to financial development changes, It is necessary to prevent local financial risks. The contrast between local financial risks and regulatory power in my country has distinctive characteristics. From a vertical perspective, the power of the central financial regulatory authorities is projected to the local areas, showing a decreasing pattern. The further down the province, city, and county, the more insufficient the regulatory power is; while with Compared with the trend of vertical weakening of the regulatory power of the central financial regulatory authorities, local financial risks show an opposite trend. Sub-provincial areas with relatively weak vertical supervision may become areas with high incidence of financial risks. The county-based business model of local financial organizations has made Financial risks are concentrated in county areas. Based on the understanding of the particularity of local financial risks, the regulations established the local financial working system of Zhejiang Province in accordance with the principle of symmetry of rights, responsibilities, and benefits, and clarified the responsibilities of the people's governments at the provincial, districted city, and county (city, district) levels. Division of responsibilities and implementation of local financial supervision and risk prevention and disposal responsibilities at all levels. First, the provincial people's government is responsible for the construction of local financial regulatory institutions in the province, improving the local government financial work discussion and coordination mechanism, coordinating major issues of local financial reform, development and stability, and coordinating and solving problems in local financial supervision and management, financial risk prevention and resolution. Major issues, and as the first person responsible for local financial supervision and management, financial risk prevention and disposal, and illegal fund-raising, accept the guidance and supervision of the Financial Stability and Development Committee of the State Council; secondly, cities and counties (cities, districts) divided into districts The two levels of people's governments should strengthen their leadership over local financial work, take into account local financial development and risk prevention, and assume local financial risk prevention and disposal responsibilities in accordance with regulations.

 

2. Local financial regulatory coordination mechanism

 

The "Zhejiang Province Local Financial Regulations" establishes a dual coordination mechanism for local financial supervision. The first is the local coordination mechanism of the Office of the Financial Stability and Development Commission of the State Council. The Office of the Financial Stability and Development Commission of the State Council issued the "Opinions of the Office of the Financial Stability and Development Commission of the State Council on Establishing a Local Coordination Mechanism" to gradually establish a local coordination mechanism for the Office of the Financial Commission in various provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) to strengthen the central and local efforts in financial supervision, risk disposal, Collaboration in information sharing and consumer rights protection. The local coordination mechanism of the Financial Commission Office is an important measure to implement the National Financial Work Conference’s recommendation on strengthening central and local financial cooperation. It greatly strengthens the coordination of central and local financial supervision and is conducive to accurately preventing and resolving local financial risks. It means that my country’s local financial supervision framework The initial formation is the further improvement of my country’s financial supervision system. The second is the coordination mechanism for local government financial work discussions. The Zhejiang Provincial People's Government has established a local financial work discussion and coordination mechanism to coordinate major issues concerning the reform and development of the local financial industry in the province, coordinate local financial supervision and risk disposal, and maintain local financial stability. The arrangement of the dual coordination mechanism can undoubtedly better balance the central and local governments. For example, the central coordination mechanism has the advantage of accepting and identifying illegal financial activities, but it lacks the advantages of disposal, banning and removal. Local governments have the advantage of "joint law enforcement and disposal by public security, procuratorate, courts, market supervision and so on." The local government financial work discussion and coordination mechanism in Zhejiang Province can stimulate the ability of local governments to coordinate independently, give full play to local law enforcement and information advantages, obtain regional financial risk information in a timely manner before the central government, and quickly mobilize local resources for disposal, and effectively assume local responsibilities. Financial supervision and risk prevention and handling responsibilities, promoting local financial stability and financial services for the development of the real economy.

[Purpose of the Article]This article is about Provisions on the powers and powers of local financial regulatory authorities at all levels

 

【Explanation of Articles】

 

"Zhejiang Province Local Financial Regulations" establishes a three-level system of local financial regulatory work departments at the province, city with districts, and county (city, district) Arrangements have been made to consolidate the supervision and management responsibilities of local financial organizations to the local level. The Provincial People's Government, as the primary person responsible for local financial supervision and management, financial risk prevention and disposal, and illegal fund-raising, is not inconsistent with the practice of consolidating the responsibilities of local governments at all levels and local financial departments, and consolidating local financial supervision Territorial responsibilities do not mean consolidating "provincial territorial responsibilities." In the past, it was emphasized that local financial regulatory powers cannot be delegated to the people's governments at the city and county (city, district) levels, which makes local financial management resources mainly concentrated in There is a serious regulatory vacuum at the grassroots level of provincial people's governments and districted cities and counties (cities and districts), making the grassroots areas high-incidence areas for local financial risks. In order to effectively solve this problem, based on the actual needs of consolidating territorial risk disposal responsibilities, the regulations establish a system of local financial regulatory work departments at the provincial, districted city, and county (city, district) levels, and set up territorial front-line regulatory agencies. Really realize the comprehensive supervision of local financial activities in the province. In addition, the regulations also clarified the functional positioning of local financial regulatory departments at all levels, and established a dual leadership system that combines "regional jurisdiction" and "regional segmentation." The local financial work departments of cities divided into districts and the departments determined by the people's governments of counties (cities, districts) are responsible for the specific work of financial risk prevention and disposal within their respective administrative areas, and accept the leadership of provincial and local financial supervision and management departments in business. At the same time, each As a functional department of the local people's government, local financial work departments at the same level must also accept the leadership of the government at the same level.

 

Many tasks in financial supervision cannot be separated from the support of various departments. The regulations stipulate the development and reform, finance, public security, human resources and social security, Housing and urban-rural development, market supervision and management, taxation and other departments shall do relevant work according to the division of responsibilities and actively support the development of local financial supervision. The specific matters and content of support are reflected in the provisions of each chapter of the regulations.

 

Article 6 People's governments at or above the county level and their relevant departments shall adopt various forms to popularize financial laws, regulations and financial risk prevention knowledge, and improve the public's financial knowledge level and risk prevention awareness.

 

Press, publishing, radio, television, Internet and other business units should carry out public welfare publicity on financial risk prevention and strengthen public opinion supervision.

 

 

[Purpose of the article]This article is about the regulations on local financial risk publicity and education

 

【Explanation of Articles】

 

The most fundamental purpose of financial literacy education is to improve the public's financial literacy. At present, the financial knowledge of the general public in our country is still generally lacking, and risk tolerance awareness and risk tolerance are also relatively low. Mainly reflected in the lack of financial knowledge and skills, unfamiliarity with financial products and businesses, and lack of financial legal knowledge. Therefore, improving the financial literacy of the public is the primary task of local financial literacy education. The implementation of various tasks and measures by the people's governments at or above the county level and their relevant departments should focus on the improvement of the public's financial literacy, rather than the improvement of individual literacy. .

 

Business units such as news, publishing, radio, film, television, and the Internet should also make full use of news media resources to promote financial knowledge and let the public understand financial knowledge through multiple channels, especially focusing on strengthening risk education and using typical cases to improve educational effects; take organizational measures Organize public welfare financial knowledge exhibitions, financial knowledge lectures, etc. to promote financial knowledge and explain financial hot spots, investment and financial management and other issues that the public is concerned about. The financial industry is also facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges as it develops, which requires the media and public opinion to further supervise and guide the financial industry. Taking the "Qianbao.com escape" incident as an example, multimedia tools should be used to expose the nature and negative situations of harmful financial institutions, so that investors can understand the nature of illegal institutions and improve their ability to prevent risks. As the main source of information for the public, the media has gradually become a powerful tool to assist financial regulatory authorities in implementing supervisory measures.

 

Article 7 Any unit or individual has the right to complain and report violations of these regulations.

 

Relevant departments of the people's governments at or above the county level should establish and improve a complaint and reporting mechanism, announce a unified acceptance method, and handle complaints and reports in a timely manner.

 

 

[Purpose of the article]This article is about the regulations on the local financial complaint and reporting mechanism

 

【Explanation of Articles】

 

Complaints refer to the behavior of consumers who purchase and use goods or receive services for daily consumption and have disputes over consumer rights with operators and request the market supervision and management department to resolve the disputes. "Reporting refers to natural persons, legal persons or other Organize and report to the market supervision and management department the conduct of operators suspected of violating market supervision and management laws, regulations, and rules." Different handling procedures apply to these two types of appeals. Complaints should be handled by administrative mediation procedures, while reports should be handled by administrative law enforcement procedures. This article clarifies the masses’ right to complain and report, and requires the government to improve the complaint and reporting mechanism. In practice, due to unclear division of labor in some cases, reporting agencies shift blame among themselves, resulting in cases where reported cases are not investigated and dealt with in accordance with the law. Requiring government departments to publish a unified acceptance method will effectively reduce the leakage of secrets and retaliation due to multiple reports and transfer of documents. At the same time, with the rapid development of Internet technology and the increasingly close integration of mobile network terminals into people's lives, there are new ways to report complaints. For example, local governments are paying more and more attention to new media platforms and continuously publish and broadcast the WeChat public accounts and government Weibo of government departments through newspapers, TV stations, etc. Guide people to use online channels such as Weibo and WeChat for exposure, and increase the public’s awareness of petition channels. It is necessary to strengthen the protection of the people's right to know and improve the government's complaint and reporting mechanism. Only when the channels for the masses to participate in supervision are open and the relevant departments provide timely responses and feedback, will people be highly motivated to participate in supervision.

 

 

Chapter 2 Supervision and Management of Local Financial Organizations

 

 

 

Article 8 When carrying out financial activities, local financial organizations shall abide by the principles of legal operation, honesty and trustworthiness, and risk control, and shall not harm national interests, social public interests, or the legitimate rights and interests of others.

 

 

【Purpose of the article】 This article stipulates the principles that local financial organizations should abide by when carrying out financial activities

 

【Explanation of Articles】

 

1. Positive regulations

 

Local financial organizations carry out financial activities in accordance with three principles:

First, operate legally. Local financial organizations must carry out financial activities within the space permitted by laws and regulations. At present, my country's financial field has formed a financial legal system that is dominated by National People's Congress legislation and supplemented by administrative regulations, local regulations, government regulations, and judicial interpretations. At the central level, local financial organizations need to abide by basic laws and regulations such as the Criminal Law, the Negotiable Instruments Law, the Securities Law, the Commercial Bank Law, the Insurance Law, and the Guarantee Law in the process of engaging in business activities, as well as Special provisions such as the "Measures for the Suppression of Illegal Financial Institutions and Illegal Financial Business Activities" targeting illegal financial activities. At the local level, the Zhejiang Provincial Government has issued a series of local normative documents such as guidance and implementation opinions based on local financial characteristics to guide local financial development.

Second, be honest and trustworthy. For local financial organizations, adhering to the principle of honesty and trustworthiness means conducting business activities honestly and in good faith, ensuring the safety of financial transactions, and maintaining the order of the financial market. Local financial organizations may have problems that violate the principle of honesty and trustworthiness in their operations, such as: credit risks, false propaganda, and unhealthy competition in the market. As an abstract principle, the principle of good faith needs to be refined and improved in continuous legal practice. The principle of good faith should be implemented in all links and stages of business activities of local financial organizations. Strengthen the enforcement of the principle of honesty and trustworthiness. We will crack down on and standardize dishonest local financial organizations, add dishonest units and individuals that have caused serious consequences to the blacklist of market competition, and severely crack down on dishonest competitive behaviors. In addition, it is necessary to establish and improve an honest and credit system with the market as the main body. The construction of the integrity and credit system relies on local financial organizations’ individual voluntary fulfillment of their integrity obligations, industry organizations’ self-discipline, and government supervision responsibilities in place.

Third, control risks. The vigorous development of the financial industry is often accompanied by high financial risks. Therefore, the prevention and control of financial risks has always been an important value pursuit of all sectors of society. Local financial organizations should improve risk prevention awareness, adopt market-oriented operations, broaden financing channels, and It is also necessary to establish a risk prediction mechanism, carefully determine the scale and method of financing, and control risks within a reasonable range. Strengthen systemic risk prevention and early warning information communication. For those that may cause or have formed major financial risks, the relevant situation shall be reported to the municipal local financial supervision and management department in a timely manner, and measures shall be taken promptly to eliminate hidden dangers and deal with risks in order to maintain the order of the financial market and protect the rights and interests of financial investors.

 

2. Restrictive provisions

 

Local financial organizations shall not damage national interests, social public interests and the legitimate rights and interests of others when conducting financial activities. In local financial activities, the legitimate rights and interests of others mainly refer to the safety and trust interests of investors. Illegal fund-raising, financial fraud and other incidents are serious infringements on the legitimate rights and interests of others. Social public interest refers to the stability of regional financial order, and good financial operating order and environment are conducive to promoting coordinated financial development and revitalizing the economy. National interests mainly refer to national financial security and the smooth operation of the economy. The spillover of local financial risks will lead to national financial risks. At the same time, the disorder of financial order and investment panic will lead to the government's credit crisis. Local financial organizations must engage in financial activities within a legal framework and must not cause undue infringement on relevant interests. If there is any infringement, they must bear corresponding legal responsibilities.

The financial regulatory authorities adopt the administrative disposal method of terminating operations, closing down and canceling.

Article 13 Local financial organizations can carry out business innovation on the premise of compliance with laws and regulations and controllable risks. Provincial and local financial regulatory authorities may implement prudent supervision and management based on business characteristics and risk conditions.

 

 

< strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word !important;">[Purpose of the article]This article mainly stipulates that the prerequisite for provincial and local financial regulatory authorities to carry out business innovation is legal compliance and risk control, and the principles of prudent supervision must be followed during the regulatory process< /span>

 

【Interpretation】

 

This article clearly stipulates that local financial organizations carry out business innovation under the premise of compliance with laws and regulations and controllable risks. While financial innovation facilitates enterprises and the public, it can also induce financial risks and create problems for supervision. For example, in financial technology, various financial institutions have innovated in areas such as scenarios, customer acquisition, assets, and risk control, which has led to improvements in efficiency and profitability. At the same time, the development of financial technology and its widespread application in non-traditional financial formats have greatly facilitated local governments to promote local economic development through financial innovation. However, the emergence of financial technology has brought new risks and challenges, and countless regulatory problems have emerged. Therefore, local financial organizations need to strictly abide by the prerequisites of legal compliance and controllable risks when carrying out business innovation. Legal compliance mainly refers to the level of legality. Local financial organizations must not violate the provisions of relevant legal documents when conducting business. Risk controllability mainly means that local financial organizations themselves need to evaluate the risks of their own business operations, ensure the controllability of risks at a reasonable level, and prohibit the development of high-risk or uncontrollable risk businesses.

 

Provincial and local financial regulatory authorities conduct prudential supervision based on business characteristics and risk conditions. This article ensures that local financial organizations carry out business innovation in compliance with laws and regulations. It also stipulates that the supervision of provincial and local financial regulatory authorities cannot be "one size fits all" and must be analyzed based on the business characteristics and risk conditions of specific industries and organizations. Generally speaking, it is to pursue high-quality development on the basis of compliance, while focusing on preventing and resolving financial risks and promoting the development and innovation of the industry. Local financial organizations are an important part of my country's financial system and play an increasingly important role in regional economic development. At the same time, the obligatory innovation of local financial organizations must not be overly restricted. Provincial and local financial regulatory authorities should establish a prudent and inclusive regulatory concept to leave room for the development of financial innovation while maintaining the bottom line of risk.

 

 

Article 14  When local financial organizations registered and established outside the province carry out business within the scope of business in accordance with the law within the administrative region of the province, they shall regularly report their business operations to the provincial and local financial supervision and management departments. The specific business scope and specific procedures that need to be reported shall be determined by the provincial and local financial supervision and management departments.

 

If the state imposes regional restrictions on the business activities of local financial organizations, such regulations shall prevail.

< strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word !important;">【Explanation of Articles】

 

For cross-regional business activities carried out by local financial organizations, the regulations regulate them from two aspects. On the one hand, for local financial organizations registered and established outside the province and engaged in local financial activities in Zhejiang, although these local financial organizations have carried out cross-regional business activities, the regulations uphold the principle of equal treatment and treat them equally. Local financial organizations registered and established outside the province The business development status shall be reported regularly to the provincial and local financial supervision and management departments. Such regulations are conducive to strengthening the responsibilities of local financial supervision, strengthening the coordination and cooperation of local financial supervision, and strictly preventing cross-regional, cross-market, and cross-industry risks from overlapping into major systemic risks. On the other hand, all local financial organizations in Zhejiang Province, whether registered and established within the province or outside the province, must comply with national regulations on regional restrictions on the business activities of local financial organizations. Local finance has distinct territorial characteristics. The establishment and development of local finance mainly relies on local economic and social conditions. The risk prevention of local finance mainly relies on local information resources. Only based on the geographical advantages of local financial organizations and their familiarity with the situation in their operating areas, can local financial organizations minimize information asymmetry and reduce operating risks. Therefore, local financial organizations generally should not carry out cross-border cross-border investment projects that are too large. Regional operations. However, due to the development of technology, especially the vigorous application of Internet technology, local financial organizations are increasingly moving out of their respective cities and counties, and even moving towards national operations. This situation is inevitable and is in line with the growth of enterprises from small to large. The development process from weak to strong. For this kind of cross-regional operations, local financial organizations already have the characteristics of national finance, and relevant local financial organizations must comply with the country’s regional restrictions on the business activities of local financial organizations.

For example, the "Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Financing Guarantee Companies" (State Council Order No. 683) stipulates: "Financing guarantee companies shall submit operating reports, financial reports, and annual audit reports issued by certified public accountants to the supervisory and administrative departments as required. Documents and information. ”

 

2. Submission of major matters

 

Among them, it is not difficult to understand the reporting of "major shareholders or partners having operational difficulties and principal responsible persons losing contact". The following will introduce the concept of liquidity risk. Liquidity risk refers to the risk that commercial banks are unable to obtain sufficient funds in a timely manner at a reasonable cost to repay maturing debts, fulfill other payment obligations and meet other funding needs for normal business operations. The liquidity risk of an enterprise means that the enterprise is unable to obtain sufficient funds in a timely manner at a reasonable cost to repay maturing debts, fulfill other payment obligations and meet other funding needs for normal business operations. In view of the characteristics of local financial organizations, in order to avoid the occurrence of "thunder waves", the "Zhejiang Province Local Financial Regulations (Draft)" requires submissions when matters affecting operations occur to improve the response capabilities of regulatory authorities.

 

3. Off-site supervision and management

 

Through the off-site supervision system, supervision data of various local financial organizations and various functional units can be transmitted to local financial supervision departments in a timely manner , allowing supervisory personnel to grasp the operating status of local financial institutions anytime and anywhere, supplemented by targeted on-site inspections, to effectively improve the efficiency and level of daily supervision and inspection work.

< strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word !important;">[Purpose of the article]This article is about the risk warning and information disclosure obligations of local financial organizations

 

< strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word !important;">【Explanation of Articles】

 

Risk warnings and information disclosure require all local financial organizations, in the process of issuing products or providing services, if there is information that may affect investors or consumers, they must release this information to all investors and consumers of the financial organization. First of all, risk warnings and mandatory information disclosure obligations are necessary. Financial organizations and their investors or consumers are not equal economic entities. Financial organizations have natural advantages and can easily obtain transaction or operating information. The information asymmetry situation makes risk warnings and information disclosure are necessary. Secondly, the time point for risk warning and information disclosure not only needs to be when the financial organization issues products or provides services. This obligation continues to exist while the financial organization is engaged in relevant business. As long as information that affects the decision-making of relevant people appears, the information will be Disclosure. Finally, as long as there is information that may affect decision-making, financial organizations need to bear notification and disclosure obligations. This is not premised on the absolute impact on decision-making. This is only a procedural obligation of local financial organizations in the process of issuing products or providing services.

 

The information disclosed by local financial organizations should be true, accurate and complete. This is a basic requirement for information disclosure and also a guarantee for solving information The fundamental guarantee for asymmetry problems. The authenticity of information is the foundation, accuracy ensures the quality of information, and completeness is the control of the quantity of information. False records, misleading statements or major omissions are prohibited from disclosing information. The authenticity of the disclosed information determines the prohibition of false records. Therefore, financial organizers must be prohibited from deliberately disclosing false information or publishing misleading information, because once the information is false and misleading, it will be difficult for investors or consumers to rely on the information to make decisions. Serious losses may occur. In addition, negligent behavior by financial organizers is also likely to violate information disclosure obligations. If there are major omissions in the information released by a financial organization, it still fails to fulfill its information disclosure obligations. There are many opinions on the materiality standard of material omissions in the academic community. In practice, which information is material information and thus constitutes a material omission requires a comprehensive judgment based on the subjective factors of investors or consumers and the objective and material factors of the information.

 

Article 17 Local financial organizations that provide services for the issuance of debt financing business products shall establish an investor suitability system to ensure that appropriate products are sold to suitable investors.

 

[Purpose of the article]This article is about the investor suitability system for the issuance of debt financing business products

 

【Interpretation】

 

Construction of investor suitability systemis a powerful means to protect financial investors. This system refers to the products and services provided by financial organizations and the financial status, investment objectives, and risk tolerance of investors. , investment needs, knowledge and experience, etc. Because in the financial market, there are high-risk financial products such as financial products, insurance investment products, trust financial products, brokerage collective financial plans, leveraged fund shares, options and other over-the-counter derivatives. If the risk is different from the risk borne by investors, A mismatch in capabilities can easily damage the interests of investors and even threaten the stability of the entire financial market. The goal of the system is to allow financial organizations to "know your customer" in order to "sell the right products to the right investors." The financial market has always operated based on the concept of "caveat emptor". However, if financial organizations violate this regulation by promoting and selling high-risk financial products and providing high-risk financial services to inappropriate investors, there will be " "Seller shall be responsible", which is also the premise and basis of "caveat emptor".

 

Investor suitability systemApplicable only when local financial organizations provide services for the issuance of debt financing business products. First of all, regardless of whether the investor is specific, as long as it involves the issuance of debt financing business products, it must comply with this system. Secondly, the product must be a debt financing business, which refers to the incorporation of funds through loans from banks or non-bank financial institutions or the issuance of bonds. Debt financing can bring leverage returns, but there are risks caused by high leverage ratios. Therefore, investors need to be protected. Finally, the Supreme People's Court's notice on the issuance of the "Minutes of the National Courts' Civil and Commercial Trial Work Conference" also specifically stipulates the suitability obligation in the trial of financial consumer rights protection dispute cases. Particular emphasis is placed on the distribution of the burden of proof, and matters not yet stipulated in these articles should be subject to this provision. For example, financial organizations must provide evidence to prove whether they have fulfilled the requirements of the suitability system; in the process of reporting obligations, financial organizations should combine objective standards that reasonable people can understand and subjective standards that investors can understand to determine whether the financial organization has fulfilled its obligations. The obligation to inform and explain has been fulfilled; if the financial organization itself has fulfilled the obligations of the investor suitability system, but if it suffers losses in financial activities due to the investor's own fault, the investor shall be responsible for it. The reasons given by the investor include: deliberately providing false information and the financial organization did not know or should not have known that the information was false; the investor refused to listen to the advice of the financial organization and ultimately purchased the product in violation of regulations; the investor had considerable investment experience and the financial organization could Prove that the violation of the suitability obligation did not affect the investor's decision-making, etc.

Our country's legal provisions on private lending are concentrated in the "Contract Law of the People's Republic of China", "Several Opinions of the Supreme People's Court on the Trial of Lending Cases by the People's Courts", and "The Supreme People's Court on Properly Trialing Private Lending Dispute Cases in accordance with the Law to Promote Economic Development and Maintain Social Stability" Notice" and other documents.

Company liquidation refers to the act of liquidating the company's claims and debts in accordance with the law after the company has legal reasons for dissolution or reasons for dissolution stipulated in the company's articles of association. According to the provisions of the "Company Law", when a company is dissolved due to a resolution of the shareholders' meeting, due to the expiration of the business period specified in the company's articles of association, due to a deadlock, or forced dissolution due to violation of laws, the company shall establish a liquidation group within 15 days. The company's liquidation team refers to the organization established in accordance with the law to handle the company's claims and debts after the company's liquidation occurs. The company's liquidation team is the representative of the company during the liquidation period. The types of liquidation of local financial organizations are mainly divided into bankruptcy liquidation and non-bankruptcy liquidation.

 

3. The bankruptcy system of local financial organizations

 

Bankruptcy refers to a legal system in which a creditor or debtor petitions the court to declare bankruptcy and repay debts in accordance with bankruptcy procedures when a debtor is unable to repay debts or becomes insolvent. The bankruptcy system in the narrow sense only refers to the bankruptcy liquidation system, while the bankruptcy system in the broad sense also includes the reorganization and reconciliation system. According to Article 2 of the Bankruptcy Law, if an enterprise legal person is unable to pay off its due debts and its assets are insufficient to pay off all debts or it is obviously lacking in repayment ability, the debts shall be liquidated in accordance with the provisions of this Law. If an enterprise legal person falls under the circumstances specified in the preceding paragraph, or is likely to lose its ability to pay its debts, it may be reorganized in accordance with the provisions of this Law.

The second paragraph of this article stipulates that provincial and local financial regulatory authorities must give full play to their guidance and supervisory roles. On the one hand, provincial and local financial regulatory authorities should focus on economic development while performing their service and guidance functions during the liquidation process. First, provincial and local financial regulatory authorities should give full play to their professional advantages to guide local financial organizations to exit the market smoothly and minimize unstable factors. Second, improve the local financial regulatory coordination mechanism. Third, establish an information sharing mechanism to share financial data and break down information islands, so as to better perform the liquidation work of local financial organizations. On the other hand, if a local financial organization is disbanded or goes bankrupt due to poor management or other reasons, a liquidation team should be established in accordance with the law to conduct liquidation and withdraw from the market in a legal and orderly manner. Provincial and local financial regulatory authorities should perform their supervisory functions well, especially to safeguard the interests of investors. First of all, if members of the supervision and liquidation team discover any illegal or illegal behavior such as bending the law for personal gain, concealing or destroying evidence, they should promptly stop it and report it to their superiors or competent departments. Second, the documents and materials related to the supervision of liquidation and the documents assisting in liquidation are true, accurate and complete. For any doubtful matters, the provincial and local financial regulatory authorities should ask questions, and the provincial and local financial organizations should respond within a certain period of time. Third, supervise the behavior of shareholders, actual controllers, directors, supervisors, and senior managers of local financial organizations during the liquidation process.
