我国金融信托业是在改革开放的大潮中应运而生的一个新生事物。十多年来,它对拓宽金融渠道,促进金融体制改革,繁荣和发展市场经济发挥了引人注目的作用。实践证明,我国金融信托业不仅具备了一定的资金实力,而且造就了一支素质较高的专业队伍,成为我国金融体系中的重要组成部分。但是,由于种种原因,我国金融信托业起步艰难,进展迟缓,远远没有起到象其他国家那样与银行、保险并列为金融业三大支柱的作用。 China’s financial trust industry has emerged as a new-born thing in the tide of reform and opening up. For more than a decade, it has played an important role in broadening financial channels, promoting the reform of the financial system, and boosting and developing the market economy. Practice has proved that China’s financial trust industry not only possesses a certain amount of financial strength, but also has created a high-quality professional contingent and has become an important part of China’s financial system. However, due to various reasons, the financial trust industry in our country started a difficult and slow process, far from playing the role of banking and insurance as the three pillars of the financial industry like other countries.
