Investing.com -- China appointed Ding Xiangqun to lead the National Financial Regulatory Administration, making her the first woman to hold the position.
The regulator announced Friday that Ding will assume the role of party secretary. The 60-year-old financial executive replaces Li Yunze, whose departure follows reports of a corruption investigation into the former chief.
Ding most recently served as chairman and party secretary of the People’s Insurance Company (Group) of China Ltd. Her career in finance spans more than 20 years, during which she held senior positions at Bank of China, China Taiping Insurance Group, and China Development Bank.
Before her insurance sector leadership, Ding worked in government, serving as vice chair of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and as a member of the Standing Committee of the Anhui Provincial Party Committee.
