China’s Communist Party released the names of its most senior officials this weekend, providing clues on who may be in line for top economic and finance posts in the government.

New names on the party’s Central Committee and its Politburo suggest China’s top economic team could see its biggest shake-up in more than a decade. Key officials like Premier Li Keqiang, economy czar Liu He, central bank Governor Yi Gang, and banking regulator Guo Shuqing exited the party’s leadership group. That doesn’t guarantee they will lose their current government posts though.
