So what you see is nothing but shadow of a shadow of a shadow.

The trouble is that, by 2010, the shadow banking system was about the same size as it was just before the 2007 market crash, whereas the regulated global banking system was 18 larger than in 2007. That is why the FSB report pinpoints the shadow banking system, together with the large global banks, as sources of systemic risk.

On top of all this, there is a shadow financial system of non bank financial institutions that, like banks, borrow short and liquid and lend to or invest in longer term and illiquid assets. This shadow system includes structured investment vehicles (SIVs), conduits, money market funds, hedge funds, and investment banks.

As a result, a credibility deficit has developed, which casts a shadow on the reputation of the United Nations system as a whole.

Fourth, the financial system despite the policy backstop is severely damaged. Most of the shadow banking system has disappeared, and traditional commercial banks are saddled with trillions of dollars in expected losses on loans and securities while still being seriously undercapitalized.

It's made of light and shadow.

The alternative theory of a global credit glut gained more ground with the release last week of the Financial Stability Board s report on shadow banking. The FSB report contains startling revelations about the scale of global shadow banking, which it defines as credit intermediation involving entities and activities outside the regular banking system.

According to market sources, total assets managed by the shadow banking system have risen exponentially since 2009, totaling 14 trillion, or one third of GDP, in the third quarter of 2012. With relatively slow growth, corporate profitability, upon which the returns of the shadow banking system s asset pools are based, is low and falling.

At the very least, the combination of higher interest rates in the shadow banking sector and weaker nominal GDP growth undermines borrowers debt repayment capacity. In a worst case scenario, falling property prices or diminishing faith in implicit government guarantees would compound the risks generated by the shadow banking system, severely undermining China s financial stability.
