The paper analyzed the changes of informal lending rates in Wenzhou between 2003 and 2011.The major findings include;(i) the informal lending market in Wenzhou is not a traditional informal lending market; (ii) the scale of informal lending is affected by the local real economy as well as monetary policy and asset prices;(iii) the rate of informal lending in Wenzhou is significantly affected by the monetary policy and asset prices;(iv) informal lending is a substitute to bank deposit in short - term,and a supplement to bank lending in long-term.To resolve the issues in Wenzhou's informal lending,the local government should start with creating an enabling environment for industry upgrading and opening some sectors to the private fund.That is, more investment channels should be created for the private fund.Besides,as informal financial service providers charge relatively high interest rates,private - owned banks are needed to provide low - cost funding to the small - and medium - sized enterprises.
