BEIJING, April 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- On March 18-19, 2023, the Global Asset Management Forum (GAMF), held its 2023 Annual Conference in Beijing, China.

The GAMF is a non-governmental global think tank initiated as a response to the deepening high-level opening-up of China.

Under the current fluctuating global landscape, GAMF strives to promote reciprocal international business and financial dialogues that will initiate and sustain collaboration, and facilitate the development of the financial industry. It also seeks to encourage the international community to join hands to tackle the complex challenges that we are facing, such as climate change, recession risks, and geopolitical conflicts.

Thus far, GAMF have attracted participants from over 100 financial institutions, industry associations and international organizations around the world.

Including the 2023 Annual Conference, GAMF has held six open-door major events* which have featured a number of well-known experts and industry leaders such as Mr. Lawrence H.

In addition, GAMF tracks key topics and policy updates in global economic and financial fields. It carries out research and produces corresponding policy suggestion and subject reports, thereby contributing wisdom and expertise to China's high-level opening-up.
