In the future，the banking regulation will follow the risk-oriented principle, preventing and controlling risks in important areas, pushing  banks to change development modes, and supporting the development of the real economy. In particular, the simultaneous implementation of Basel Ⅱ and Basel Ⅲ, together with the coordinated execution of Pillar 1, Pillar 2 and Pillar 3, will form a significant reform in China banking regulation, and profoundly alter the specialty and comprehensiveness of banking regulation.
