Shanghai Finance Forum to bring insiders on financial challenges and opportunities
Shanghai Jiao Tong University Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance (SAIF) will hold Shanghai Finance Forum (SFF) on Jan 14, 2017, bringing together leading scholars, policy makers and practitioners to a common platform led by a Nobel laureate to discuss challenges and opportunities as China continues to develop its financial markets.
The SFF aims not just to identify the issues but also to come up with possible solutions through rigorous research, in-depth discourse and intimate interaction. Nobel Laureate Robert Merton and former governor of India’s Reserve Bank Raghuram Rajan will deliver keynote addresses and participate in the panel discussions.
The SFF will bring together about 350 of the world’s experts and leaders as guests, seeking to foster deep discourse, meaningful debate, and the fruitful exchange of ideas and best practices. The discussions will be underpinned by rigorous academic research, and guided by international best practice and experience, to condense actionable insights for policymakers.
It also aims to raise the understanding of international investors on China’s policy actions and circumstances as they may be misinformed or ill-informed on the challenges and opportunities of the country.
