2026 Lujiazui Forum: Plenary Session IV: Empowering High-standard Financial Opening-up Through Shanghai-Hong Kong Financial Synergy
Conference - Shanghai
A strong international financial center is one of the core financial elements in building a financial powerhouse. Strengthening exchanges and cooperation between Shanghai and Hong Kong and building them into China’s dual financial hubs will help leverage their respective strengths and create synergy, thus empowering high-standard opening-up. During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, how can Shanghai and Hong Kong further leverage their respective advantages to better serve Chinese enterprises in their global expansion? How can the two cities advance in-depth and all-round cooperation in areas such as cross-border financial services coordination and financial market connectivity? While preventing financial risks, how can they explore and lead China’s financial opening-up and institutional innovation, further enhancing their capacity to serve the development of China’s real economy and allocate global financial resources?
