China should accelerate legislation of the Financial Stability Law and improve other legal arrangements designed to prevent and dispose of financial risks, three officials from the People's Bank of China (PBOC) wrote in China Finance, a publication affiliated to the central bank.

With Canada in the midst of a housing affordability crisis, I decided to revisit the topic of renter needs, wants and housing outcomes.
