From the perspective of the supply chain, he introduced the background of international trade and investment under the influence of the epidemic, pointed out the financial risks faced by emerging market economies and developed countries in the post-epidemic era, and concluded that the financial risk challenges faced by developed countries are far lower than emerging economies. He then put forward relevant preventive measures and solutions.

The topic of Professor Xia Huasheng's speech was the exchange rate system and price efficiency: an empirical test of the impact of the financial crisis. He introduced the impact of the 2008-2009 financial crisis on currency price efficiency and found that currencies that follow a free-floating exchange rate system have experienced a significant deterioration in price efficiency than currencies that follow a managed floating system. The currency efficiencies of freely floating countries have not fully recovered even ten years after the crisis.

Vice Chairman José Teixeira took Cape Verdean Bank's investment in government bonds as a case study, introducing the local financing structure, the risk and profitability of bank asset flows, the general situation of commercial banks, government bonds, etc., and concluded that the banking industry plays an important role in public financing. The bank's strategy of holding public debt securities has also proven to be a viable and low-risk alternative to internal investment of liquidity surplus and long-term profits.

Vice President He Ying made a concluding speech on this forum. She pointed out that the four experts have given an analysis of the epidemic situation from both the micro and macro levels, with solid theoretical knowledge and rich practical experience. The dynamic trend of the post-world economy has brought new perspectives and enlightenments to the development of finance.

She hopes that everyone online and offline can seek new opportunities and development in the changing environments.
