On June 20, 2024, the Lujiazui Forum was held in Shanghai. At the “Session Five of the Plenary Session: Benchmarking High Standard Economic and Trade Rules, Promoting High-level Systematic Opening of Finance”, Liu Jin, President of the Bank of China, stated that in order to steadily expand the high-level opening-up of the financial sector, more emphasis should be placed on systematic opening-up. Using the construction of the free trade pilot zone as a carrier, Shanghai will take the lead in exploring systematic opening-up. In the future, it is hoped that more autonomy for reform and innovation will be given to the pilot free trade zone, to promote the opening-up of financial services to the outside world in a wider range, broader fields and at deeper levels.
