HKIMR The Twelfth Annual International Conference on the Chinese Economy
23 November 2022
The Hong Kong Institute for Monetary and Financial Research (HKIMR) successfully hosted the Twelfth Annual International Conference on the Chinese Economy (the Conference) on 23 November 2022.
The theme of this year’s conference is “The Next Phase of China’s Economic Development”. In his opening remarks, Mr Eddie Yue, Chief Executive of Hong Kong Monetary Authority, said the Chinese economy faced many challenges in the short run, but he was confident that the economy was resilient and would successfully move to the next phase of high-quality growth. Hong Kong as a gateway to China, would continue to make significant contributions during the process.
During his keynote speech, Dr Wang Yiming, Vice Chairman and Chairman of the Academic Committee, China Center for International Economic Exchanges, said China needed to get its economy back on track as soon as possible through appropriate monetary and fiscal policies. In the medium to long run, China needed to deepen its reform and opening up, strengthen its capability for original innovation, restructure and upgrade its manufacturing industries, and increase domestic demand, to weather through the challenges and avoid a “middle-income trap”.
The conference had more than 1.18 million real time online views and 75 on-site participants.
