Background
In June 2009, the European Chamber and the Shanghai Municipal Government Financial Services Office (FSO) jointly held the first European Union Shanghai International Financial Forum (see here). This event was held in the immediate aftermath of the PRC State Council’s announcement that Shanghai was to be developed into a world-class international financial centre by 2020.
Now, two years later, the European Chamber will team up with the FSO for a second conference examining the progress that has been made so far and bringing together both local and international experts to discuss those areas which the Shanghai authorities see as priorities for the next stage of development.
