Chan Kung: The Heart of Financial Innovation is Risk Control
ANBOUND
Anbound's chief researcher, Chan Kung, points out that we should realize that while financial innovation provides convenience, it also creates risk.
Financial system has a systemic feature; an incident in a place will have impact over a very large sector.
Therefore, financial innovation has always been related to risk, we must pursue prudent and sound policies and follow the principle that a prudent policy must be devised before a desired outcome can be achieved.
Once we miss the policy goal, then the entire society will be "playing with money" and the risk spillover is unstoppable.
