ROUNDUP
Despite the various challenges throughout the year
like SARS and the war in Iraq, the 2nd China
Finance and Capital Markets Conference was successfully
held in Shanghai and Beijing this November. Like last
year, the event was one of EuroEvents' signature event
and it was well received with a great range of speakers
from China, Hong Kong and the United States.
 The event was lively with the
active participation of the audience and as expected,
the issue of RMB exchange rate was one of the highlights
of this conference. The event kick-started with the
keynote speech of Dr. Ling Tao of the People Bank
of China and his reviews on the monetary market and the
capital market gave the audience the insight of the
development of the markets and the relationships between
the two. His idea was further reinforced by the keynote
speech of the Beijing Session, at which Mr. Dai
Genyou of the People's Bank of China gave his views
on the China Monetary policy. Having been involved in
the front line of setting monetary policy, Mr. Dai
explained how the fundamental stability of RMB Exchange
Rate can be maintained. Mr. Jia Baobo of Shanghai
Kinghing Investment made a detailed comparison on the
Pros and Cons of RMB appreciation and within his
presentation, Mr. Jia also highlighted the importance of
a good timing should the appreciation is
unavoidable.
Apart from the RMB outlook, the effect of QFII on the
capital markets generated a lot of interest from the
audience after the wonderful speech of Dr. Gao

China's capital market is unique in its development and
