Since the 20th century, with the development of global economic integration and finance internationalization, the transnational bank has played a greater and greater role in economy. International supervision and cooperation became the important business of Central Bank. Transnational banks set up branches in many countries, and any country's Central Banks couldn't implement effective, prompt and overall supervision over them. Especially, for supervision dynamics on the transnational bank and international loan are different in different countries, the loophole in supervision over transnational bank has formed. In order to prevent a Domino Effect in the global financial market, which may be caused by one single bank crisis, Global unified supervision over transnational bank has a strengthening trend.Since the reforming and opening, chinese economy has been incorporatjng with international economy day by day, and chinese finance has become a part of global finance progressively too.
