History
[edit]The CBIRC was established in April 2018 by a merger of China's banking and insurance regulators, namely, the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) and China Insurance Regulatory Commission (CIRC).[2]
It supervised and managed China's banking and insurance sectors, participated in the drafting of legislation and regulation relevant to those sectors, performed supervisory and management functions in those sectors, and conducting studies on the management of those sectors.[3]: 39 As a result of these functions, it was also involved in regulating fintech and data security and privacy issues.[3]: 39
It was abolished in March 2023 as part of a plan to overhaul government agencies, being replaced by the National Administration of Financial Regulation.[4]
