上海自贸区扩区3周年 陆家嘴片区打造国际一流金融城 - 2018年10月09日

Lujiazui financial area’s inclusion in the China (Shanghai) Free Trade Zone has boosted the rapid development of the FTZ by opening the service industry wider and strengthening financial reforms, local authorities said yesterday.
China decided to extend the Shanghai FTZ to the Lujiazui financial district as well as nearby Jinqiao and Zhangjiang districts in 2015. Since then Shanghai has pushed forward the opening-up of the service sector and accelerated the construction of a new open economy system, said Guo Zhiying, deputy director general of the Shanghai Lujiazui Financial City Authority.
After the expansion, Lujiazui has welcomed a large number of service providers in finance, shipping and professional services. This year, Lujiazui is implementing the central government’s strategic plan to further open the financial services industry to the world and to lure foreign financial institutions to form a cluster in the area, Guo added.
