Shadow Banking: An Overview
What is Shadow Banking?
Shadow banking refers to the system of financial intermediaries and non-bank institutions that provide credit and liquidity outside the traditional banking system. Unlike conventional banks, shadow banks are not subject to full banking regulations, but they perform similar functions, such as lending, credit enhancement, and investment intermediation.
Shadow banking includes entities such as investment funds, money market funds, hedge funds, securitization vehicles, finance companies, and peer-to-peer lending platforms.
