A springboard for growth
What they say
The Shanghai FTZ is a bold and pioneering initiative. By maintaining the growth of foreign trade-related activities and expanding reforms to strengthen the financial and high-tech industries, Chinese and Shanghai authorities are once again elevating the process of economic transformation and modernization.
Sustaining modernization requires consistency of innovative policies and a long-term structural vision. This is precisely what the Shanghai FTZ has achieved by expanding export policies, trade growth, services, finance and technology.
The success story of the Shanghai FTZ indicates that the most promising path for the Global South is one of cooperation and the pursuit of virtuous interdependence, conceived, organized and planned with inclusive and sustainable development in mind.
