SHANGHAI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Over the past 40 years, China pursued all avenues in the roll-out of its financial reform and steered its financial system toward an open, inclusive and forward-thinking model. Now available on YouTube, the series The Story of New Finance in China recounts this period of development and shares China’s valuable experience and lessons with other economies.
China’s successful reinvention of its financial system began with the shareholding reform of its four major state-owned commercial banks, which transformed the country’s wholly state-owned banking sector into a truly diversified market. Today, those four banks have already successfully ventured into the domestic and international capital markets. ICBC and CCB have also expanded their commercial operations into the overseas markets.
The financial sector of a country serves as a driver behind its economic and societal development.
