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.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is defined as a dynamic global network infrastructure with self-configuring capabilities based on standard and interoperable communication protocols where physical and virtual “things” have identities, physical attributes and virtual personalities, use intelligent interfaces and are seamlessly integrated into the information network. IoT has moved from being a futuristic vision to an increasing market reality both in China and Europe. In this context, the EUCTP II will contribute to a three day event dedicated to EU-China IoT cooperation in Beijing from 31 August until 02 September 2015. This activity will have the support of market stakeholders to sketch recommendations for a joint action plan. Following the first two conferences organized in October 2014 and April 2015 in Shanghai and Lyon, the exchanges will provide important input for the EU-China Information Technologies, Telecommunications and Informatisation Dialogue. Priority themes to be addressed will include IoT global opportunities as identified in the context of eHealth, smart cities, and industrial IoT applications under the topic Industry 4.0.
