The Financial Street Forum 2024 is set to take place from October 18 to 20 at Beijing Financial Street, with this year’s focus on financial openness, collaboration and shared economic stability, according to a press conference on Friday.
Jointly organized by the Beijing Municipal People’s Government, the People’s Bank of China, the State Financial Regulatory Administration, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, Xinhua News Agency, and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, the annual event is expected to host over 500 guests from more than 30 countries and regions worldwide.
This year’s forum will follow a structure of “main forum + parallel forums + fintech conference.” The main and parallel forums will feature a total of 25 thematic events and three investment and financing matchmaking sessions, while the fintech conference will host 17 events.
The main forum will include the opening and closing ceremonies, alongside six thematic events. These sessions will offer authoritative insights into both international and domestic economic trends, as well as financial regulatory policies, with the aim of actively shaping public expectations.
The six thematic sessions will explore topics such as enhancing the modern central banking system, deepening capital market reforms, empowering industries through financial support to drive high-quality development, and fostering mutually beneficial international trade and investment cooperation.
As a key innovation this year, a unit from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will host a thematic event focused on improving the quality and efficiency of financial services for the real economy.
