From Oct 27–30, FSF 2025 landed in Beijing to spark talks on “Global Financial Development in an Era of Innovation, Transformation and Restructuring”. Over 400 reps from 30+ countries and regions joined the conversation. 🌏✨
Here’s the deal: Traditional banking is cool, but the future is supercharged by niches like science and technology finance (funding R&D & startups), green finance (eco-friendly projects 🌱), inclusive finance (making sure everyone gets access), and digital finance (mobile wallets & blockchain 📲). FSF’s goal? Show how these tools can power up the real economy in the Chinese mainland and beyond.
Why it matters: The real economy is all about creating products, services, jobs and sustainable growth. Last year alone, the Chinese mainland’s banks & insurers threw in over $24 trillion to back businesses big and small. Think equity financing, smart loans, and more. And with a relaxed monetary vibe plus targeted rules, the stage is set to boost investor confidence and match global strengths. 💪
Spotlight on SMEs: Global data shows that consistent funding can wobble under economic pressure. That’s why FSF emphasizes teamwork between international organizations, big business, and dynamic small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The aim is clear: diversify who’s pumping cash into innovation and keep the momentum going.
Hot off the press: Between Nov 2024 and Sep 2025, nearly 100 Chinese mainland companies went public via IPOs. Plus, policies are evolving to sync fiscal, monetary and industrial strategies—pushing tech breakthroughs to the forefront. The People’s Bank of China also flagged the need to “prevent and defuse” financial risks, ensuring a stable ride.
Ready for takeoff: With a mix of sustained consumption, global trade, and moderately supportive monetary policy, the Chinese mainland is rolling out the red carpet for foreign SMEs and investors. 🌐🚀 If you’re a startup founder or a finance geek, FSF’s playbook is worth a peek!
Final word: FSF 2025 isn’t just another conference—it’s a roadmap for how smart finance can fuel real-world growth. Stay tuned for more updates and dive into the future of money! 💼✨
