Xie Wei believes that at present, China has become the second largest wealth management market in the world. The wealth management industry is at a critical stage of transformation and development due to growing investment demand from residents, the industry ecology is becoming more and more perfect, and digital technology is integrated and innovated. In his view, for commercial banks, the wealth management business has become an important focus for coping with the pressure of narrowing interest spreads, cultivating new growth momentum, and building a “second growth curve.”
