The Financial Street Forum 2024 will be held next week in Chinese capital Beijing focusing on topics including financial openness and economic cooperation.
At a press conference for the 2024 Financial Street Forum on Friday, organizers revealed that this year's meeting will prioritize building trust and confidence while highlighting the importance of financial openness, cooperation, and shared economic benefits.
"We organize this forum annually to enhance financial exchanges between China and the global community, promote positive interactions between finance and the real economy, and create a platform for dialogue among international financial institutions, experts, and scholars. The event also aims to raise awareness of China’s financial reforms and developments, reflecting the country’s confidence and commitment to advancing financial reform and opening up," said Lu Wuxing, director of the Beijing Financial Street Service Bureau.
More than 500 distinguished guests from around 30 countries and regions are anticipated to attend the forum, where they will engage in insightful discussions on global key financial topics.
Founded in 2012, the Financial Street Forum has been successfully held for 11 years. Considered as the bellwether of China's financial reform and development, it has been upgraded to a state-level and international industry forum since 2020, and become an important platform for the country's opening up and development.
The Beijing Financial Street (BFS), formed in 1993, is dubbed "China's Wall Street" and the "brain" of the country's financial sector.
