As an international financial center, Hong Kong is indispensable to China’s opening to the world. After the recession, both China and the world went through complex transformations. As the global system continues to rearrange its economic order, China is broadening its market access, deepening reform and encouraging globalization. Hong Kong has played a crucial role facilitating such activity between the Chinese mainland and the rest of the world.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of China’s reform and opening-up. In this stage of maturation, China will attempt to shift toward high-quality economic development. In this context, the summit gathers leading figures to discuss the advantages of capital flows and financial services, technological innovation and industrial upgrading, recalibration and realignment between China and the world, and the shared opportunities in a new era of opening.

The annual Caixin Summit, one of China’s most forward-looking forums on finance and economics, has attracted hundreds of distinguished speakers over its eight-year history. Its impact on Chinese policymaking has been widely recognized, and it has become a bridge between China and the rest of the world.
