IWMSDB was representeted by Mrs. Andrea Kuhn-Senn at the round table in Geneva.
The Round Table addressed core areas where the RMB can be used in trade, trade finance, the commodity business as well as wealth and asset management. There have been two panels with excellent specialists from banks, stock exchanges, trading companies, wealth and asset management firms and clients from both China and Switzerland. The panels provided an opportunity to discuss the practical use of the renminbi (RMB) as a currency, in particular for investments, diversification, trading and trade and export finance. The quality of the audience allowed for a constructive dialogue. We had the pleasure of welcoming government officials, including Federal Councillor Ueli Maurer, as well as high-level keynote speakers such as Thomas Bauer, Chairman of FINMA, and Andrea Maechler, Member of the Governing Board of the SNB. About 180 participants, including 50 guests from China, took part in this event.
Education was also the topic of a panel. “The Swiss financial sector has extensive expertise, in particular in wealth and asset management, which makes it a partner of choice for education and training”.
