The 7th APFA annual conference opened in Shanghai Monday, with more than 400 economists, professors and entrepreneurs from the Asia-Pacific region to discuss finance and technology in the 21st century.
The three-day meeting is expected to address a range of issues, such as financial difficulties of bankrupted enterprises, relations between banks and enterprises, company acquisition and merger, financial markets and disclosure of information.
The meeting will also discuss China's current financial market and problems faced by policy-makers particularly after China's accession to the World Trade Organization.
