Poised to make a difference

SAIF says it is ready to play a key role in the metropolis' trade and finance development goals, Zhou Wenting reports in Shanghai.

Shanghai's three major tasks that focus on trade and finance will provide the Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance with an opportunity to showcase its advanced teaching methods and practices in an international, market-oriented environment.

The major tasks include the addition of new areas for the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone, launching a science and technology innovation board on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and an experimental registration-based system for initial public offerings.
