China's State Council announced on Tuesday that a joint conference mechanism between financial ministries will be established to promote concerted financial regulation.

The conferences will be initiated by the People's Bank of China, which is the central bank, while banking, securities, insurance and foreign exchange regulators will also participate, it said in a statement on the official website.

The National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance will also be invited to the conferences if necessary, it said.

A special office will be set up at the People's Bank of China to organize the joint conferences, which will discuss coordination of financial regulatory rules on fending risks and promoting financial innovations.
