Beijing to Host Financial Street Forum 2024 Starting October 18
The Financial Street Forum 2024 will be held from October 18 to 20 at Beijing Financial Street. This year's event will concentrate on themes of financial openness, collaboration, and shared economic stability, as announced during a press conference on Friday.
The event is jointly organized by the Beijing Municipal People's Government, the People's Bank of China, the State Financial Regulatory Administration, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, Xinhua News Agency, and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. It is anticipated that over 500 guests from more than 30 countries and regions will attend.
This year's forum will be structured with a "main forum + parallel forums + fintech conference." The main and parallel forums will consist of 25 thematic events and three investment and financing matchmaking sessions, while the fintech conference will feature 17 events.
The main forum will encompass the opening and closing ceremonies, in addition to six thematic events. These sessions are designed to provide authoritative insights into both international and domestic economic trends, as well as financial regulatory policies, with the goal of actively shaping public expectations.
The themed sessions will cover topics such as enhancing the modern central banking system, deepening capital market reforms, empowering industries through financial support for high-quality development, and promoting mutually beneficial international trade and investment cooperation.
A notable innovation this year is a thematic event hosted by a unit from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, focused on enhancing the quality and efficiency of financial services for the real economy.
