CHINA'S banking regulator is tightening disclosure rules on lenders' wealth management products (WMP) as it tries to track risky lending practices in the shadow-banking sector, the latest in a series of steps by Beijing aimed at defusing financial risks.

The China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) said in a notice late on Monday it plans to launch 46 new or revised rules this year, part of which targets risks related to shadow-banking activities. The authorities are trying to better regulate 30 trillion yuan (S$6.1 trillion) of WMPs, much of it sitting off-balance sheet in the shadow-banking sector.
