CHICAGO (Reuters) The World Bank will recommend reforms to China’s domestic financial system as part of broader proposals to help wean the country from a dependence on exports to sustain economic growth, World Bank President Robert Zoellick said on Saturday.

Those changes could have the benefit of increasing confidence among Chinese authorities that the nation’s economy will not be destabilized by foreign exchange reforms, Zoellick said. U.S. and other international authorities have long urged China to let its yuan currency, also called the renminbi, to float more freely on foreign exchange markets.

“China’s policy on the exchange rate will depend in significant part on whether Chinese officials believe the structure of the economy can adjust to the price signals of changed exchange rates,” Zoellick said.

“The Chinese … recognize that this reform agenda, including a stronger and more flexible financial sector would move hand in hand with the internationalization of the renminbi,” he said.

China’s government realizes that the export-led growth model that has been so successful for the past 30 years will not work in decades ahead,Wholesale Ed hardy, the World Bank chief said at the annual meetings of the Allied Social Science Associations.

The World Bank, in a series of recommendations due to be released in February, will suggest changes including fewer but stronger fiscal institutions that are more transparent and more accountable, Zoellick told the economists’ conference. The bank’s proposals are part of a year-and-a-half collaborative project with the Chinese government.

While Beijing has allowed its yuan currency to float in recent years, critics say Beijing has not permitted it to appreciate enough. The U.S. Treasury last month avoided formally naming China a currency manipulator under law but chided Beijing for not moving quickly enough on reforms.

Some U.S. politicians argue China has gained an unfair edge in global markets by keeping the yuan artificially low to boost exports. Pressure has mounted in Congress for President Barack Obama to take stronger action against China, but the administration has preferred a diplomatic approach.

The bank will recommend China moves away from controls on savings and interest rates that have subsidized state-owned enterprises. It will also urge a move toward market interest rates, deeper capital markets and more financial instruments, all the while accompanied by high standards for disclosure.

Authorities also will be asked to limit the influence of China’s powerful state-owned enterprises, Zoellick said.

“China needs to restrict the roles of the state-owned enterprises, break up monopolies, diversify ownership, and lower entry barrier to private firms,” he said.

China is also trying to strengthen its social safety net, Zoellick added.

The value of the yuan has risen 4 percent against the dollar this year and 7.7 percent since China dropped a firm peg against the greenback in June 2010.

At the heart of the friction between the two countries is a U.S. trade deficit with China that swelled in 2010 to a record $273.1 billion from about $226.9 billion in 2009. The cumulative Jan-Oct deficit with China is on track to top that this year, running at around $245.5 billion.

WACO, Texas Federal securities regulators filed suit Tuesday against a Texas-based provider of so-called “life settlements,” accusing it and three top executives of defrauding shareholders by overvaluing the life insurance policies it buys from its customers.

In a statement, the Securities and Exchange Commission said Life Partners Holdings Inc. and its top management lowballed life-expectancy estimates used to price the settlements they pay customers.

With life settlements, policyholders sell their life insurance policies in return for a lump-sum payment. Investors buy the right to collect the policy’s death benefits, but must continue to pay premiums until the original policyholder dies.

The lawsuit the SEC filed in federal court in Waco,Cheap Ed hardy t-shirts, Texas, also names as defendants the company’s founder, chairman and chief executive, Brian Pardo, its president and general counsel, R. Scott Peden, and Chief Financial Officer David Martin.

In its civil complaint, the SEC alleges that Life Partners and its executives engaged in deceptive disclosures and improper accounting to overvalue its assets and exaggerate its revenue stream from brokering life settlements. The SEC also accused Pardo and Peden of insider trading.

“Life Partners duped its shareholders by employing an unqualified medical doctor to assign baseless life-expectancy estimates to the underlying insurance policies,” said Robert Khuzami, head of the SEC’s enforcement division. “This deception misled shareholders into thinking that the company’s revenue model was sustainable when in fact it was illusory.”

Waco-based Life Partners said the lawsuit is “without merit,” and it promised a vigorous defense.

“It is very disappointing that the SEC has chosen to pursue litigation over issues that we believe have no merit and financial presentation issues that we do not believe are material,” Pardo said in a company statement. “We have always done our best to deliver value to our shareholders and to run an honest and transparent company.”
