BACKGROUND

At present, the world economic growth lacks momentum, and with the underlines rules behind global trade and economic investment undergoing a period of profound restructuring, there is an impending need in new major dynamic sources. Global bay area economy has always been the growth pole of global economic development and the driving engine of technology reform. It also serves as the technological innovation hub and the financial and industrial agglomeration center. Following New York, San Francisco, and Tokyo, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao has become the world 4th greater bay area, which is the core spatial carrier of China’s construction of the world-class urban agglomeration and its participation in the global competition. The International Financial Forum (IFF) seeks to cement its position as the F20 Summit in the financial field providing an international cooperation platform to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area as well as driving in-depth discussions in promoting the stable, sustainable, fair, and inclusive global economic growth.
