Hong Kong and Shanghai have great complementarity in developing their financial markets. Hong Kong has successfully established its status as an international financial centre and an offshore Renminbi centre. Shanghai is already China’s leading Renminbi finance centre. Its financial markets are steadily deepening in both depth, volume and market size, aided by the fact that Shanghai is favourably located as the centre for the Yangzi River Delta, which is a major industrial zone and export powerhouse of China. With the aim of promoting the internationalization of the Renminbi and the opening of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, Shanghai has a major role in helping China open up its capital account and further deepen its capital and financial markets. The Lecture will examine the dynamics of China’s financial market reforms and the roles Shanghai and Hong Kong can play to further that policy objective.
The Lecture will be conducted in Putonghua Tea Reception after the Ceremony
