This an excellent review of important policy issues facing the emerging giants.

My question: do the rural poor in China use the formal banking system and is there a role for microfinance?

My comment: by implication, your first sentence (correctly) puts Australia back in its box as a small economy.

Thank for the article.

Andrew
