Over 400 global finance leaders, scholars, and entrepreneurs from 30 countries and regions gathered in Beijing this week for the 2023 Financial Street Forum, a high-stakes event spotlighting financial innovation and cross-border collaboration under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). 🚀
BRI Takes Center Stage
A key parallel session focused on boosting regional cooperation through BRI projects, emphasizing sustainable growth and “win-win development” models. Discussions tackled financial reforms, digital currencies, and strategies to bridge gaps in global infrastructure investment.
Who’s Behind the Forum?
Launched in 2012, the annual forum is co-organized by Beijing’s municipal government, the People’s Bank of China, and top financial regulators. This year’s edition highlights China’s push to position itself as a hub for inclusive financial solutions—think green bonds and AI-driven banking tools. 💸🤖
With young professionals and investors in mind, the event also explored how Gen Z can leverage fintech trends to drive entrepreneurship across Asia and beyond. 🌐
