About this book

This book is distinctive among current studies on this topic. The Chinese economy has entered a period of transformation, which has brought changes to the finance market and consumer habits. For a long time, topics such as monetary policy, reform, financial risks and so forth have been the focus. But there have been few studies of those aspects of the consumer finance market that are directly related to private consumption. Studies on this topic, to which this book contributes, are necessary for understanding the current economic situation in China.
This is a full-scale comparative study of consumer finance in China, Japan and South Korea, and will draw lessons for China in this area from the experience of the other two countries.

Chapter 1. Consumer Finance and Its Significance
Abstract
This chapter analyzes consumer finance and its significance and discusses consumer finance’s concept and effects as well as its real economic foundation. This chapter also gives an overview of the development of consumer finance in China. According to the authors, the development of the national economy, the formation of the market (in which supply exceeds demand), the residents’ consumer structure, and the social security system are considered to be the four economic bases for consumer finance in China. Moreover, this chapter asserts that the development of the national economy, the acceleration of urbanization, changes in the consumption philosophy among the younger generations, and improvements in the social credit system are the impetus behind the growth of consumer finance in China.

Chapter 4. Chinese Retailing Development and Consumer Finance
Abstract
This chapter investigates consumer finance in China from the perspective of the retail industry’s development. This chapter discusses the current situation and history of China’s retail industry, particularly the prepaid card business. Consumer finance in China has chosen a different development path than Japan and South Korea.
In terms of its development, China’s financial market went through neither a period in which growth was fueled mainly by that of the consumer product manufacturing industry nor one in which smaller firms were gradually replaced by larger ones through market competition and cooperation. Instead, it became dominated by commercial banks and the credit card business at an early stage.
