Futures exchange aims to open its doors

The Shanghai Futures Exchange regards opening its doors to the world as a focus this year, Chairman Yang Maijun said on Wednesday.

"While China's real economy and spot trade have been fully internationalized, the futures market is still limited to domestic investors, so opening our doors to the world is a vital task for us this year," Yang said.

He said more investments in technology and improvements in the trading mechanism are also important.
