LONDON CHINA CAPITAL MARKETS CONFERENCE
Background: The growth and liberalization of China’s economy and capital markets has attained critical
momentum in recent years. Some of the major markers of this fast-evolving process include:
- The rapid growth and maturity of the offshore CNH and dim sum bond markets in Hong Kong
and other centres.
- The opening of the onshore Chinese bond and equity markets through the expansion of the QFII
and RQFII programmes to a whole range of international fund managers and other investors.
- The granting of direct access to central banks, supranational bodies and sovereign wealth funds
to the domestic Renminbi (CNY) bond market.
- Increased access being granted to a much wider global investor base via the “Stock Connect”
programme and the prospective expansion of such “Connects” to include IPOs, bonds and other
asset classes.
- Domestic Chinese fund managers’ ability to access international investors (and vice versa)
through “Mutual Fund Recognition” schemes, such as the one agreed between China and HK
- The rapid internationalization of the Renminbi, with its recent inclusion in the SDR basket by the
IMF constituting a major milestone.
- China’s taking the lead in Asian (and global EM) infrastructure development, through the setting
up of the AIIB (Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank).
- China joining ranks with the world’s advanced economies by acknowledging that economic
development should be carried out in an environmentally conscious manner, as exemplified by
the Asian giant’s taking the lead on a whole range of green financing initiatives.
- China’s adoption of cutting edge technology, as domestic and global fintech firms make inroads
into China’s financial markets
- The growing use of the Renminbi as a settlement currency globally, coupled with the growing
acceptance/usage of the Renminbi by corporates in their treasury & cash management activities
- The growing number of central banks (over 50) now own Renminbi-denominated investments as
part of their reserves.
Objectives: London’s role as the key international financial centre serving capital markets across the
Emerging Market world ideally positions it to take advantage of China’s opening – the City has
historically been the dominant force since time immemorial, acting as a major catalyst for globalization,
internationalization and capital market innovation – there is every reason to expect that with London
positioned physically as the terminus of the “New Silk Road”, the City will play a key role in China’s “One
Belt, One Road” initiative. This conference aims to bring together the key stakeholders at the forefront
of China’s capital market opening to help explain some of the main developments in this regard.
Who should attend: Bankers, capital markets lawyers, FX, Fixed Income, Equity, Commodity and
derivatives salespersons and traders, fund managers (and other investors), other financial market
intermediaries, financial market regulatory and compliance personnel, corporate treasurers, staff at
Financial Market Infrastructure (FMI) companies and Central Counterparties (CCPs), Fintech and Green
Finance firms and more generally, “China Watchers” and anyone interested in China developments.
