Belt and Road Initiative: Connecting China to the world
Connecting China to the world
The Belt and Road Initiative is set to reinvigorate the seamless flow of capital, goods and services between Asia and the rest of the world, by promoting further market integration and forging new ties among communities. It also offers global businesses unparalleled opportunities to tap into new markets along the Belt and Road geography and to gain deeper access to markets in China, ASEAN, Middle East, and Europe.
As President Xi expressed in the quote -“Finance is the lifeblood of modern economy. Only when the blood circulates smoothly can one grow” -financial integration, one of the top five cooperation priorities, is considered as an important underpinning for implementing The Belt and Road Initiative. It requires openness, development and integration in the financial industry, including cross-border economic zones, regulatory coordination, flexible and efficient investments and financing and innovative financial services.
Attend The Belt and Road Initiative conference to share professional insights, discuss future trends and seek business opportunities arising from The Belt and Road Initiative.
