In this paper, based on the theoretical analysis put forward policy recommendations to promote the healthy development of China's informal finance.China's rural informal finance has far-reaching historical roots. An important indicator of the informal finance's origin is the generation monetary and credit. According to historical records, China's of currency appeared as early as the Shang period. The emergence of "jiaozi" in Northern Song Dynasty marked the emergence of China's currency notes.

These documents are on behalf of the Government's attitude to informal finance, but also determine the status of informal finance. China's informal finance has experienced the rise boom-recession-recovery process.Weak competitiveness of farmers and rural SMEs disadvantage determines it is difficult for SMEs to obtain financial support from formal financial institutions in rural areas. There is a big gap in the supply and demand of funds. Flexibility, diversity of informal finance adapts to the needs of financial activities in rural areas.

In the presence of interest rate control of the situation, the supply of formal financial resources can not meet the demand. This gap can not be padded in the formal financial sector and capital requirements will turn to the informal financial sector.
