We are delighted to invite our members to this half-day forum to examine foreign involvement in RMB-denominated private equity funds in China.
We will bring together representatives of regional governments that have taken a lead in promoting this area as well as both international and domestic players that have been involved with RMB-denominated PE funds to talk about the progress made so far and prospects for the future.
The objective of the forum is find out what the impact has been since foreign-invested or foreign-managed RMB funds have been promoted in Shanghai and other cities across China, how international players are dealing with these initiatives, and to explore further opportunities for cooperation between domestic and international players.
This is a joint European Union Chamber of Commerce in China and American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai event. Please note that the event also includes breakfast and simultaneous translation.
