Abstract: We show that China’s four-trillion-yuan stimulus package fueled by bank loans in 2009 (as a response to the 2007/08 global financial crisis) led to the rapid growth of shadow banking activities in China several years later. The local governments in China financed the stimulus plan mainly through bank loans in 2009, and resorted to non-bank debt financing after 2012 facing mounting rollover pressure from bank debt coming due. Coss-sectionally, the provinces with abnormally greater bank loan growth in 2009 experienced more Municipal Corporate Bonds issuance during the periods of 2012-2015, and we link the stimulus loan rollovers of local governments to shadow banking activities, including entrusted loans and wealth management products. We argue that the four-trillion-yuan stimulus package has the perhaps unintended consequence of modernizing China’s financial market post 2012, and highlight the market forces behind the regulation changes in China inthat period.
