The new regulator, which has yet to be officially named, will take over the responsibilities for financial consumer protection and day-to-day supervision of financial holding companies from the People's Bank of China (PBOC), as well as investor protection from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), according to a proposal offered at this year's annual meeting of the National People's Congress, the country's top legislature.
