China International Capital Corporation (CICC) hosted the China-Japan Finance and Economic Forum last March 24th, 2023 in Tokyo, which was attended by hundreds of financial investors.
In his opening speech, Dr. Chu Gang, COO of CICC, emphasized the importance of China-Japan cooperation in the capital market and the role of CICC Japan in bridging the two markets.
“Japan is not only the third largest economy, but also the second largest developed economy, with numerous leading Japanese institutions and companies operating worldwide. Both China and Japan have large capital markets full of dynamic financial players, and the role of CICC Japan is to bridge the two markets and support institutions and corporates to identify opportunities for mutual benefits and facilitate transactions on behalf of our clients,” Dr. Chu Gang said.
Meanwhile, Mr. Eiji Tanaka, CEO of CICC Japan, highlighted the Company’s ability to assist clients in understanding and managing assets with its business expertise and networks.
The forum focused on the key issues and opportunities facing China, Japan, and Asia, including macroeconomics, investment strategies, industry trends, and business dynamics.
Over 30 speakers from China and Japan’s policy, business, and academic fields shared their insights on regional and global economic policies, industry and financial market trends.
The topics discussed included China-Japan economic and finance cooperation, post-COVID Asian economic outlook, aging population and financial planning, global supply chain restructuring, China’s new economy, carbon neutrality, and more.
In addition to presentations and discussions, the forum also featured panel discussions on ESG investment opportunities in Asia and cross-border securities investment outlook. CICC and industry experts created a unique opportunity for attendees to engage in face-to-face communications.
At the forum, CICC Fixed Income, Commodities and Currency Department (FICC) launched its FICC APP in Japan’s iOS App store, which serves as an online portal of market insights and in-depth research views with over 20,000 registered users worldwide.
The forum aims to expand CICC’s business influence in Japan and promote international capital market cooperation while facilitating cross-border capital flows.
