China central bank chief: cut reliance on rating agencies


    BEIJING (Reuters) - China's Central Bank Governor Zhou Xiaochuan said financial companies must cut their reliance on ratings agencies, and that China is considering setting up a system where investors pay for ratings, rather than bond issuers.

    Zhou was speaking at a forum in Beijing.
