Since my country proposed the initiative to jointly build the "Belt and Road" 11 years ago, regional economic cooperation and development have entered a new stage, and financial investment has also ushered in unprecedented development opportunities: by establishing branches and conducting cross-border business in countries along the "Belt and Road", financial institutions have improved the coverage and efficiency of financial services and gradually formed a networked layout; at the same time, the economic development and market opening of countries along the "Belt and Road" have also provided wealth management institutions with diversified asset allocation opportunities including gold, stocks, bonds, funds, real estate, etc.

As a province and region connecting China with ASEAN countries on land and sea, Guangxi has the Beibu Gulf coastline and multiple border ports, which is a key portal connecting ASEAN and a core area of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Zone. The cross-border RMB settlement and the construction of Nanning's regional financial center have provided solid financial support for the "Belt and Road" project.

In order to further explore the hot topics of the "Belt and Road" economy and discuss the opportunities and challenges of ASEAN's financial investment, on August 2, the theme of "Financial Opening Greentown, Links to Silk Road" was held at the Nanning Station of the Shanghai Financial Expo with the theme of "Financial Opening Greentown, Links to Silk Road".

The forum is hosted by "Financial Weekly" and hosted by China-ASEAN Economic and Trade Center and Shanghai "Financial Weekly" Media Co., Ltd., and is provided with strong support from Guangxi International Expo Group, Silk Road International Chamber of Commerce, Shanghai Financial Expo Organizing Committee, Shanghai Modern Service Industry Development Research Institute, Hong Kong China Financial Advisors Association, Lujiazui Family Office Alliance, Mantianxing Professional Trading Alliance, and China Analyst Alliance.

Build a new Silk Road channel together, and the "Belt and Road" empowers regional coordinated development

Coastals, rivers and borders, connecting the Greater Bay Area, southwest, central and southern and ASEAN, Guangxi has unique resource advantages, location advantages and scenario advantages of "three-alt-altitude and three-connection" and is an important link connecting China and ASEAN in the construction of the "Belt and Road".

In his opening speech, Zhang Wenxue, former vice chairman and member of the Party Leadership Group of the People's Government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and former vice chairman of the CPPCC of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, said that over the years, Guangxi has always adhered to the concept of consultation, joint construction and sharing, continued to deepen industry financial cooperation, promoted financial cooperation to empower people's livelihood and welfare, and allowed the development results to benefit the general public more. "At present, the scale of cross-border RMB settlement between Guangxi and ASEAN countries has steadily and continuously expanded, and the interconnection of financial infrastructure has been deepened, providing strong support for regional economic and trade cooperation. This forum has gathered forces from all parties to explore new paths of financial cooperation around the issues of ASEAN financial cooperation in the new era. We look forward to jointly promoting the establishment of a more open, inclusive and inclusive regional financial cooperation system with all parties, so that cross-border finance can better serve the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, so that the results of financial cooperation can better benefit the people of all countries, and inject financial momentum into building a closer China-ASEAN community of shared future."

Chen Yue, chairman of the organizer "Financial Weekly", also pointed out that since my country proposed the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative in 2013, international economic cooperation has opened a new chapter, and the financial investment field has also ushered in unprecedented development opportunities: the internationalization of the RMB is moving steadily forward, cross-border investment and financing channels are constantly expanding, digital financial innovation is surging, green financial cooperation is deepening, and regional financial connectivity level has significantly improved, providing broad prospects for the international development of financial institutions. "However, opportunities and challenges coexist. At present, the international geopolitical environment is complex, and some countries along the route are troubled by financial risks such as debt pressure and exchange rate fluctuations. There are large differences in laws and regulations and regulatory systems. Problems such as asymmetry in market information and insufficient corporate credit transparency are still prominent. How to seize opportunities, respond to challenges, and promote the steady and long-term financial investment of the Belt and Road Initiative is the core issue of this forum." He emphasized that "Holding the Belt and Road Financial Investment Forum on this hot land of Guangxi is of particular significance - Guangxi is a key node of the Belt and Road Initiative and an important gateway to connect ASEAN. In recent years, Guangxi has achieved remarkable achievements in promoting cross-border settlement of RMB and building a regional financial center in Nanning, providing solid financial support for the Belt and Road Initiative project, and paving a convenient way for Chinese financial institutions to expand the Southeast Asian market. Through the strong collision of ideas and selfless sharing of experience, I hope today's forum can contribute Gaowu Jianling's ideas and practical solutions to the 'Belt and Road' financial cooperation. ”

As a "one-stop" comprehensive service platform for serving enterprises to "go global" and "bring in", the forum organizer China-ASEAN Economic and Trade Center has always been committed to building it into the best partner for enterprises to expand the China-ASEAN cross-border industrial chain, supply chain and value chain. At the forum, Qin Zixin, Party Branch Secretary of the China-ASEAN Economic and Trade Center, also introduced: "Nanning is a frontier window for China's open cooperation to ASEAN, and an important node for the organic connection of the Belt and Road Initiative. From the 'China-ASEAN Free Trade Zone' to the effective implementation of RCEP, from the 'Western Land-Sea New Channel' to the construction of 'China-ASEAN Financial City', this city has always stood at the 'bridgehead' of Sino-foreign economic and trade cooperation, witnessing the deep leap between China and ASEAN from 'trading partners' to 'investment partners'. This 'Belt and Road' international gold The implementation of the Rong Investment Forum in Nanning is not only a precise docking between "Shanghai Financial Power" and "Nanning ASEAN Resources", but also a vivid signal of the gathering of global financial resources to the China-ASEAN market. We hope that today's forum will not only be a "collision of ideas", but also a starting point for "resource docking": allowing institutions with funds to find high-quality projects, allowing enterprises with projects to connect and match capital, allowing investors in need to meet professional solutions, allowing financial vitality to truly flow to the fertile soil of the real economy, and allowing cooperation results to benefit more countries and people."

Building a new channel for wealth and strategic opportunities in the context of capital reconstruction

This forum attracted many representatives from domestic and foreign banks, insurance, securities, funds, and futures institutions, as well as industry top experts, senior scholars, practical leaders, family management office representatives, high net worth individuals, professional media, research institutions, etc. Through in-depth speeches, roundtable dialogues and peak debates, global financial wisdom is gathered, focusing on the hot topics of the "Belt and Road" economy, and discussing ASEAN financial investment opportunities and challenges.

Share guests, Dr. Shao Yu, a special senior researcher at the National Finance and Development Laboratory, a director of the China Chief Economist Forum, and a special professor at the School of Management, Fudan University, took the title of "Globalization 3.5: Empowering the Belt and Road Initiative", and deeply analyzed how new quality productivity injected new impetus into the "Belt and Road". He pointed out that humanoid robots, quantum computers, new displays, brain-computer interfaces, 6G network equipment, ultra-large-scale new intelligent computing centers, third-generation Internet, advanced and efficient aviation equipment, deep resource exploration and development equipment, etc. will become hot products for new quality productivity; and in the layout and planning of Globalization 4.0, the "Belt and Road" strategy, multi-level free trade agreements, and the construction of domestic free trade zones will all become key points.

Li Yunliang, a senior national auditor, an evaluation expert of the Ministry of Science and Technology's Small and Medium Enterprise Innovation Fund, and director of the Economic Committee of the Guangxi District Committee of the Democratic League, discussed new opportunities in Silk Road finance with guests on site, and shared the "Investment Thinking Based on the Beibu Gulf, Facing Southeast Asia, Strong and Open Development to the Navigation". He believes that China has strong competitiveness in construction services, maritime services, tourism services, computer information services, business services, etc. At the same time, the establishment of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Zone has also built a smoother trade bridge and broader platform for private enterprises to expand overseas markets. However, when entering the ASEAN market to invest, it is still necessary to attach great importance to risks such as the investment environment and market structure. Market opportunities, entry obstacles, investment locations, positioning, ideas, goals, etc. are all crucial.

Mao Rong, head of the product department of Noah Zhengxing, discussed in depth how to "take the lead in going overseas and build a new global Chinese wealth management ecosystem." Since May, many super family offices have been invested from the United States to Asia, and the number of high-net-worth Chinese people around the world has also continued to increase. With the arrival of a new round of wealth handover, investors are becoming younger and wealth management needs are becoming more diversified and personalized. She suggested that when building and optimizing strategic asset allocation plans, Chinese wealth managers must consider three elements: regional choice, respect for probability, and bottom-line thinking, and pointed out that the importance of "length of entry" is actually far greater than "time of entry".

In recent years, Southeast Asia has become the first stop for Chinese companies to go overseas with its unique geographical location, strong demographic dividend and policy support; Singapore, as the economic leader in Southeast Asia, has naturally become the first choice for many companies, which also provides structural opportunities for more individual investors seeking wealth growth. Against this background, & You Pte Ltd founder Chen Yide shared the "New ASEAN Wealth Channel: Based in the Lion City, With ASEAN in Heart, Looking at the World", further analyzing the ASEAN investment map under Singapore's radiation, including the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone, Sarawak, etc., bringing many practical cases and forward-looking thinking.
