According to Mr. Long Yongtu, Secretary-General of BFA, “BFA International Capital Conference” to be held in London is the first large-scale international conference ever held by BFA outside Asia. Cavendish Group International, co-host of the Conference, is a leading British media and event company. London was selected to host the Conference because Britain is not only the largest European investor in China, but also China’s third largest trade partner and the fourth largest export country in the world. The NASDAQ Stock Exchange, established exclusively for electronic trading, has in recent years become mature and turned to large companies for listing. In addition, the United States of America has formulated and issued stricter regulations. As a result, many international enterprises have diverted their attention to London Stock Exchange which has a suitable entrance threshold and a flexible regulatory system. The Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange has in recent years attracted attention from global investors and listing companies.
Long Yongtu says the primary topics in the agenda of this Conference include: 1) analysis of the global economic trend and prospect of the international capital market; 2) trans-national merger and acquisition practices and case analysis and 3) the development status quo of emerging markets and investment analysis. To support the Chinese Government’s internationalization strategy, Secretary-General Long especially points out, the Conference will have an in-depth discussion on how Chinese enterprises can take advantage of London capital market for investment and capital raising. The conference will also provide participant enterprises with an opportunity to talk with targeted European enterprises on a face-to-face and one-on-one basis.
