During August, the European Chamber, along with the US-China Business Council and the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), participated in an anonymous survey based on an annual research project financed by the influential Chinese think thank CF40 (China Finance 40 Forum) and conducted by CASS (the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences). This year the project was focused on shredding light on the difference in perceptions between China’s regulators and foreign financial institutions when it comes to the opening up, underlining that there is a big gap. On one hand, China’s officials think they make great efforts to push forward the financial opening. On the other hand, foreign financial institutions feel limited improvement and wish the opening could bring more impactful changes.

On this basis, CASS has now published the report at the second Shanghai Bund Summit and are delighted to share the results with members of the European Chamber’s Financial Services Working Groups. At this meeting, Mr. Qiyuan Xu, Senior fellow, Head of Economic Development Department and Deputy Director of RCIF (Research Center of International Finance) at CASS will present the report.
