China closes hundreds of banks to bolster financial system
China is shutting down hundreds of banks as part of an effort to strengthen its financial system. The closures, reported by the Financial Times, are part of a broader consolidation of the country's banking sector, with smaller institutions being merged or wound down amid concerns over bad loans and financial stability.
Why now: The scale of the banking closures raises questions about the health of China's financial sector and its wider economic outlook.
