This paper provides evidence on the relationship between finance and high growth in China. Employing data for 27 Chinese provinces over the period 1995-2003, we assess the impact of banks and non-bank financial institutions on local economic growth. We argue that banks have had a larger impact than non-banks on local economic growth as they benefited earlier and more profoundly from China's financial reforms than their non-bank counterparts. Key Words: growth, financial development, Chinese provinces, banks JEL-codes: E44, G21
