In current uncertain economic times, China and Shanghai are taking further actions to open up the financial system and become a more attractive place for international investment. Treasury & financing has traditionally been a highly restricted and regulated area in the Chinese business environment. While cross-border cash pools can offer an efficient way to move RMB and foreign exchange between group companies, there are plenty different models available which do face different regulatory frameworks and may come with different tax considerations. This seminar shall cut through that complexity, provide you with a hands-on overview about different cash pool schemes based on the latest regulatory changes and consider alternative treasury tools for your application.

The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is pleased to invite HSBC and PwC to address relevant aspects around setting up and operating cross-border cash pools.

Given the current difficult situation we are going through in China, the Chamber has decided to provide the members with a safe way to communicate with each other, get updates on what the Chamber is doing regarding the outbreak as well as any valuable developments. This is also a way to provide with personal feedback to each other on how each company is coping with the situation. Besides this, we will also approach some important lobbying issues to move the group forward.
This is a Joint Working Group Meeting being lead by Banking & Securities but open to both Consumer Finance and Non-banking Financial Institutions and Insurance Working Groups.

Corporate venture capital (CVC) differs from independent venture capital (VC) in several ways when it comes to how it nurtures innovation in new firms and what metrics a CVC fund regards as important. Whereas the objective of a common VC fund may simply be to get an attractive financial return, CVC funds are generally more focused on the strategic fit of any potential investment with their companies’ own strategic orientation.

At the European Chamber’s Corporate Venture Capital Conference 2019, managers of CVC funds, advisers and academics will talk about what makes a CVC unit successful, what deals these units are looking at in their respective sectors – information technology and life sciences, among others – and what they think about this sector’s potential in China.

China’s capital markets have continued to develop and open up at an unprecedented pace. Meanwhile, a significant step taken in 2017 to further open up the capital markets was allowing foreign institutional investors in the CIBM to have access to onshore FX risk hedging arrangements.
