A major contribution consisted of bringing eminent international scholars and policy-makers to China, and in sending leading Chinese scholars and policy-makers abroad. The World Bank's financial support for these activities had a significant impact on the development of ideas on enterprise reform, especially at the highly influential Chinese Economic System Reform Research Institute (CESRRI), under the state council. The contribution of the World Bank was given more concrete form in the shape of joint research (from 1983 to 1985) on state enterprise reform, between the World Bank and leading Chinese institutions, under the umbrella of the Economics Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. The World Bank has been involved in several industrial projects through its loan program. The main point of focus has been the fertilizer sector, but it has also been involved in projects in the machine tool, pharmaceuticals, and cement sectors. The World Bank has devoted increasing amounts of research resources in the China field to analyzing the role of private enterprise in the economy.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTINGACQUISITIONSADBASSET MANAGEMENTASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANIESBANK FAILUREBANKING SECTORBANKING SYSTEMBANKRUPTCYBANKRUPTCY CASESBANKRUPTCY LAWBONDSBORROWERBRANCHESBUSINESS STRUCTURECAPITAL MARKETSCAPITALIZATIONCEOCEOSCO-OPERATIVECO-OPERATIVESCOLLECTIVECOMMERCIAL BANKSCOMPANYCOMPETITION POLICYCOMPETITORCOMPETITORSCOOPERATIVESCORPORATE ENTITIESCORPORATE ENTITYCORPORATE GOVERNANCECORPORATIONCORPORATIONSCREDIT COOPERATIVESDEPOSITSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT BANKDOWNSIZINGDUOPOLYENTERPRISE ORGANIZATIONENTERPRISE REFORMEQUIPMENTEXPANSIONEXPENDITUREFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL FLOWSFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL SERVICESFINANCIAL STABILITYFINANCIAL SUPPORTFINANCIAL SYSTEMFIRMSFIXED INVESTMENTFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTGLOBAL BUSINESSGLOBAL CAPITALGLOBAL ECONOMYGLOBAL MARKETGLOBAL MARKETSGOVERNMENT POLICYHOLDINGHOLDING COMPANYINCORPORATEDINDUSTRIAL POLICIESINDUSTRIAL POLICYINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINITIAL PUBLIC OFFERINGINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENTINSURANCEINSURANCE COMPANIESINTERNATIONAL BUSINESSINTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSINTERNATIONAL INVESTMENTINTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT BANKINTERNATIONAL MARKETSINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINVENTORIESINVESTIGATIONINVESTMENT BANKERSINVESTMENT BANKINGINVESTMENT BANKSINVESTMENT CORPORATIONIPOJOINT VENTUREJOINT VENTURE PARTNERSJOINT VENTURESJUDICIAL SYSTEMLARGE ENTERPRISESLEGAL ENTITIESLEVEL PLAYING FIELDLIMITEDLOANLOCAL BANKSLOCAL GOVERNMENTMANUFACTURERSMARKET ACCESSMARKET ECONOMYMERGERMERGERSMINORITY SHAREHOLDERSMOBILE PHONESNON-PERFORMING LOANSNONPERFORMING LOANSOLIGOPOLYPARTYPRIVATE ENTERPRISEPRIVATE ENTERPRISESPROPERTY RIGHTSPROTECTION OF CREDITORSPUBLIC OFFERINGSPUBLIC POLICYRULE OF LAWRURAL CREDITSECURITIESSHAREHOLDERSHAREHOLDERSSMALL ENTERPRISESSMESME SECTORSTATE BANKSSTATE ENTERPRISESTATE ENTERPRISESSTATE INTERVENTIONSTOCK EXCHANGESTOCK MARKETSTOCK MARKET CAPITALIZATIONSTOCK MARKETSSUPPLIERSUPPLIERSSWAPTELECOMMUNICATIONSTRADE CREDITORSUNIVERSITIESVALUATIONEvaluation of the World Bank's Contribution to Chinese Enterprise Reform10.1596/20211
