It also is an anniversary of the beginning of a strong collaboration with Luxembourg in the sphere of financial services - 40 years ago in 1979, Bank of China established its first subsidiary since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in Luxembourg, becoming the 100th bank to operate in Luxembourg. Today, China’s financial markets have a degree of connectivity with the rest of the world that was unheard of in the past. Over the last few years more channels have been made available for foreign institutions wanting to invest in the Chinese onshore market, including the QFII and RQFII schemes, CIBM direct access, and Bond and Stock-Connect programs. We also see internationalisation shifting gears with the launch of connect programmes worldwide – ETF Connect with Japan, London Stock Connect, and a dedicated Green Bond information channel with the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Thanks to its professionalism, financial services ecosystem, and extensive expertise in cross-border investment fund management and distribution, Luxembourg’s position as an international RMB centre has strengthened.
