To many people, this is an important platform for central financial regulatory bodies and the Shanghai Municipal Government to collaboratively advance the construction of Shanghai as an international financial center.Related NewsJPM: Local Govt Special Bonds First Support Repayment of Overdue Corporate Receivables, Boon to CN Banks' Performance
