The Yangtze River Delta New Financial Research Institute was established in Nanjing on Thursday. Representatives of the financing and leasing industry associations from Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui gathered to seek new opportunities for the development of the financing and leasing industry in the Yangtze River Delta region.
Leaders from the provincial local financial supervision bureau and Nanjing Normal University jointly unveiled Yangtze River Delta New Financial Research Institute. Four experts and scholars were awarded letters of appointment. At the same time, 10 units including Jiangsu International Leasing Co., Ltd. became the Institute’s internship base.
As an important part of modern finance, financial leasing has played a positive role in broadening the financing channels of small and medium-sized enterprises, promoting industrial upgrading and economic restructuring.
The school-enterprise cooperation aims to further integrate the resources of both sides and actively promote the high-quality development of the financial leasing industry in the Yangtze River Delta.
"High-end think tank resources are the biggest feature of the Institute. We will make full use of this resource to study and solve the weaknesses in the development of the financial leasing industry. By carrying out scientific research, talent training, decision-making consultation and regularly issuing the Yangtze River Delta financial leasing development report, we will serve the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Delta economy," said Huang Lei, President of the Yangtze River Delta New Finance Research Institute of Nanjing Normal University.
The Yangtze River Delta has always been a fertile land for the development of financial leasing, with more than 700 financing guarantee institutions of all kinds. Last year, the balance of financing lease assets in Jiangsu reached 166.689 billion yuan, up 5.39% year on year, and the financing lease funds released in that year reached 113.954 billion yuan, up 9.96% year on year.
At the first Yangtze River Delta Financial Leasing Suiyuan Forum held concurrently, experts and scholars from famous universities, regulators, judicial departments and senior practitioners in the financial leasing industry exchanged and interacted on how financial leasing can better serve the economic development of the Yangtze River Delta.
"In the next step, we will continue to grasp the national strategy of integrated development in the Yangtze River Delta, increase support for artificial intelligence, high-end manufacturing, new energy and green environmental protection industries, and contribute to the overall improvement of economic operation," said Mao Ruoning, Deputy General Manager of Jiangsu International Leasing Co., Ltd..
