The "2026 Conference and Stock Exchange International Workshop & Euro-Asian Capital Market Exchange Event" was held in Shanghai on June 8. The event brought together over 120 participants, including senior executives from nearly 30 exchanges across Eurasia, as well as representatives from security companies, asset management institutions, and listed companies. In-depth exchanges were held on topics such as the development prospects of capital markets in China, Europe, Southeast Asia, and Central Asia, and exchanges and cooperation among Eurasian capital markets.

This four-day training program and exchange event was hosted by the Shanghai Stock Exchange (hereinafter referred to as the "SSE"), the Shanghai International Centre for Communication and Cooperation between Exchanges (hereinafter referred to as the "SICCCE"), and the Federation of Euro-Asian Stock Exchanges (FEAS), with support from the Asset Management Association of Shanghai. Since 2019, the Conference and Stock Exchange International Workshop has been successfully held six times. This year, it collaborated with FEAS for the first time, focusing on Eurasian capital market cooperation, drawing active participation from both domestic and international exchanges and market institutions.

The head of the SICCCE stated that China's capital market has long prioritized the development of a multi-tiered market system and serving the investment and financing needs of both domestic and international participants. Through international exchanges and cooperation among exchanges, capital markets across countries can achieve common development and prosperity. Technical teams from stock exchanges along the Eurasian routes are welcomed to visit Shanghai for exchanges, to jointly advance the development and application of financial technology.

The FEAS Chair noted that China's capital market stands as a remarkable example of innovation, resilience, and long-term vision. Gathering in Shanghai has provided an exceptional opportunity for market leaders from across Europe and Asia to exchange ideas. We are grateful to the SSE and the SICCCE for creating an inspiring platform where dialogue, cooperation, and mutual learning can flourish.

A relevant official from the Financial Commission Office of the CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee noted that the development of Shanghai as an international financial center and the growth of its capital market are inseparable from the deep participation of international markets and investors. As a key financial market infrastructure, the SSE has achieved fruitful results in cooperation with overseas exchanges. The SICCCE is expected to continue leveraging its strengths, deepening exchanges and collaboration with countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative and with global capital markets, thereby supporting Shanghai's development as an international financial center.

During the event, experts from the SSE delivered lectures to the participating exchange representatives on such exchange-related topics as "Introduction to CSI Indices and Indexed Investment", "Investor Protection and Education in the Self-Media Era", "ETF and Derivatives Markets", and "Application of New Technology in Stock Exchange Businesses", sharing Chinese solutions. The participating representatives will also visit representative enterprises of new quality productive forces to gain first-hand insights into how the capital market empowers "Smart Manufacturing in China". In addition, overseas participants attended an exchange session supported by the Asset Management Association of Shanghai, learning about the development of China's asset management industry and the building of Shanghai as an international asset management hub.

The Shanghai International Centre for Communication and Cooperation between Exchanges (SICCCE) was established in December 2018. Jointly sponsored by the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and the SSE Public Welfare Foundation, the SICCCE aims to support the development of Shanghai as an international financial center and the capital market's service of the Belt and Road Initiative by promoting communication, exchanges, and information sharing among exchanges and relevant institutions globally.
