Vice Chairman ZHOU Xiaochuan Delivered Speeches at the African Currency Forum, at the 44th Edition of the Ambrosetti Forum and at the Eastern Economic Forum

From September 3 to 12, 2018, ZHOU Xiaochuan, Vice Chairman of the BFA and China's Chief Representative to the BFA, attended the African Currency Forum, the 44th Edition of the Ambrosetti Forum and the Russian Eastern Economic Forum, respectively, and delivered speeches at several sessions.

ZHOU introduced the development experiences and prospects of China's banknotes and electronic payment methods at the African Currency Forum, and hoped to further spur cooperation between Asia and Africa in the currency field. At the Ambrosetti Forum, ZHOU pointed out that despite the escalating global trade protectionism and recent financial market turbulences in many emerging market economies, Asian countries, which learned the lessons of the Asian financial crisis, have maintained relatively sound economic fundamentals and sufficient growth momentum. He also shared his views on the experiences of China’s 40-year reform and opening-up and its economic growth prospects at the meeting with Italian entrepreneurs. At the Eastern Economic Forum, Vice Chairman ZHOU said that Northeast Asian countries can foster economic and financial cooperation and spur mutual integration by promoting the free flow of factors of production and infrastructure interconnection.

ZHOU also pointed out at the meeting that the BFA is the most influential platform for dialogue between government and businesses in the Asia-Pacific region. With a focus on Asia and a global perspective, BFA is willing to foster cooperation with key regional forums such as the African Currency Forum, the European House – Ambrosetti and the Eastern Economic Forum, through promotion of extensive exchanges and in-depth dialogue and consensus building, so as to improve global economic governance and boost the well-being of people around the world.

During the Ambrosetti Forum, ZHOU Xiaochuan also met with Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and Minister of Economy and Finance Giovanni Tria, inviting them to attend the Asia-Europe Leaders’ Dialogue Conference for Cooperation jointly held by the BFA and Ambrosetti in Rome from December 4 to 5 this year.
