On the morning of November 10, 2021(GMT+8), the Opening Ceremony for "Seminar on Currency and Banking Management in Latin America, the Caribbean and South Pacific Region" hosted by Ministry of Commerce and organized by MOFCOM Training Base for International Business Officials (Shanghai) was held online. Ms. Liu Beimin, Researcher with Division of Foreign Economic Cooperation of Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce and Mr. Chen Wei, Executive Vice Dean of the College of International Education of our university attended the opening ceremony.
On behalf of the Municipal Commission of Commerce, Liu Beimin expressed her warm congratulations on the opening of this Seminar. She said that economic and trade investment is inseparable from the support of financial services. As an important part of finance, national currency and bank management are effective channels for regulating and stabilizing the national economy. With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the development of economic globalization, a proactive and stable monetary policy and modern bank management are important guarantees for responding to the world's political and economic situations and preventing and deflating financial risks. She hopes that financial institutions from all over the world will participate in the construction of Shanghai's international financial center, and take this Seminar as a new opportunity to strengthen exchanges and contacts with Chinese financial institutions and deepen practical cooperation in this field.
Chen Wei said that in the“dual circulation” development pattern of the post-epidemic era, the changes in China's economy and market have not only brought huge challenges to the development of all countries in the world, but also new opportunities. This seminar focuses on topics such as the new pattern of technology and finance in the era of artificial intelligence, the current status of risk management in China’s banking industry, the internationalization of the RMB, and the impact of DeFi on the traditional financial ecosystem, which aims to further promote the exchanges and cooperation between China and countries in Latin America, the Caribbean and the South Pacific region, provide China's experience in currency and bank management, and share China's achievements in this field.
