The Feasibility of Establishing an International Financial Center in Shanghai

摘要

This article examines the feasibility of establishing an international financial center in Shanghai by 2020. It analyzes the national regulations and incentives that need to be implemented and evaluates whether the financial market liberalization measures undertaken so far by China meet the requirements for the success of this strategy. It concludes that elevating Shanghai to a primary international financial center providing multiple financial services to domestic and foreign clients is decades away under the sequential approach to liberalization. However, in the short run, Shanghai can emerge as a regional financial center catering essentially to the funding needs of Chinese businesses.View full textDownload full textKeywordsChina, Shanghai, international financial center, feasibilityRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10599231.2011.550185
