As a core highlight, the financial exhibition zone at the 26th China International Fair for Investment & Trade (CIFIT) achieved quantitative and qualitative leaps, doubling in both area and exhibitor count, while featuring the inaugural Cross-border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) Zone at CIFIT. This one-stop platform converges global top-tier financial resources to establish an efficient two-way industry-finance matching mechanism. Covering 25,000 square meters across Hall 5 (Finance Zone) and Hall 6 (CIPS Zone), the zone hosts 142 institutions this edition, doubling the previous 71. The collective appearance of major Chinese and foreign banks not only demonstrates the international appeal of RMB cross-border payment infrastructure but also creates direct engagement channels for overseas going enterprises and financial institutions, better serving high-quality development and high-standard opening-up.
