ABSTRACT
Accroding to the main stream theory of financial development and economy
growth, financial development can affect growth of an economy through its effects on
save rate, the ratio of save to investment, and the efficiency of investment. In this thesis,
based on China economy’s characters, we evaluated China’s financial development,
analyzed the quantitive relationship between financial development and economy
growth, and further discussed the factors favour and restraint the relationship. Also
some suggestions on boosting financial development were given.
Financial development refers to the scale growth, struction optimizing and enhance
of efficiency of finance. China’s financial reform focused on the scale and then
efficiency improvement of market. In the research, we found finance penetration of
China increased fast with diversification of structure, while the efficiency remained low.
Through Granger Casuality Test, the article found relationship between financial
development and growth of GDP Per capita. And the article also set up a regression
equation to analyze the quantitive relationship between DEPTH, RR and GDP per
capita. It was concluded that although financial development favored the ratio of save to
investment and the increase in investment ratio, but owning to the low efficiency in
capital distribution, the favorable relationship between financial development and
economy growth was weakened. And thus lead to a vague positive relationship between
China’s financial development and growth of GDP per capita in the past 25 years.
Through further analysis, the thesis found that underlying the low efficiency of
china finace system are systematic restraints and insufficiency of financial structure
diversification. In addition, the weak market also limited the effect of financial
development to economy. Based on this, the thesis put forward the approach of
market-oriented financial reformation and structure diversification approach to improve
the efficiency of China’s financial system. Also, the market environment improvement,
including law service and credit environment improvement, needs to be pay attention to.
