Brief Introduction
A National Strategy of China: To develop Shanghai into an international financial centre
The CEIBS Lujiazui International Institute of Finance (CLIIF) was initiated by the China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) and the Shanghai Lujiazui (Group) Co., Ltd. in October 2007. The purpose of CLIIF is to carry out social influence research and facilitate the construction of Shanghai International Financial Center, for China's macro-economic control and financial stability. Based in Shanghai, CLIIF shall serve as an open and international platform for academic exchange while focusing on studying the opportunities and path to the financial opening-up and development of the service industry under the new development pattern. CLIIF is committed to providing first-class research, consulting and training services to financial institutions, financial regulation agencies, financial investors, and consumers, as it fulfils its role as an influential think tank for the development of Shanghai as an international financial center and promotes a "going-out strategy" for China's financial institutions and enterprises.
Each year, CLIIF undertakes more than 10 key financial research projects commissioned by the Shanghai Local Financial Regulatory Bureau, submits more than 80 special reports for decision-making consulting research, and organizes more than 20 sessions of forums and salons. CLIIF also publishes academic research works and delivers more than 100 articles in various newspapers and media. Notably, CLIIF has innovatively developed the "Global Asset Management Center Evaluation Index", and has continuously released five index reports since 2021, which has attracted increasing attention and recognition across various sectors.
In December 2022, CEIBS established the "CEIBS Lujiazui Finance 50 Forum (CLF50)", based on the foundation of CLIIF. This forum brings together more than 150 economic and financial experts, aiming to build a dynamic platform for economic and financial discourse. It focuses on fostering growth and thought exchange in Shanghai and the Yangtze River Delta Area, positioning itself as a hub with significant potential for development in these regions.
"CEIBS Lujiazui International Institute of Finance, as an open and international platform for academic exchange, shall help Shanghai develop its financial research and reform, attract more financial talents, and improve its financial infrastructure and services, all of which will ensure healthier development of China's financial industry so as to better serve the country's historical opening-up and modernisation process."
Yu Zhengsheng

It is becoming a think tank for the development of Shanghai as an international financial centre."

About CEIBS Institute of European Economics (CIEE)
The CEIBS Institute of European Economics (CIEE) was jointly initiated by CEIBS and SINO-CEEF, and is housed within the CEIBS Lujiazui International Institute of Finance (CLIIF).
As one of the first pilot entities for regional and country studies centers in Shanghai, the Institute aims to conduct research and analysis on key topics—including macro- and micro-economics, trade, and investment—across European countries and regions, with a particular focus on Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). It provides intellectual support and professional consulting services for Chinese enterprises investing in the European market, contributing professional expertise to the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative.
CEIBS Lujiazui Finance Salon
CEIBS Lujiazui Finance Salon is a high-end platform for scholars and executives from the financial industry to communicate with each other and discuss hot issues. The audience is mainly composed of executives from financial institutions such as banks, funds, trusts, investment and insurance. At finance salons, financial executives are able to enjoy face-to-face interaction with policymakers, renowned scholars, and outstanding practitioners, as well as share their latest research results and insightful perspectives on financial issues. The Salon will ultimately be developed into an elite club in the Financial City of Lujiazui.
Financial Law Training Programme
The objective of the programme is to help build up a team of professional judges, public prosecutors and sergeants who master both profound legal and financial knowledge. Programme participants are expected to apply what they learn in order to contribute to the positioning of Shanghai as an international financial centre and set a good example for financial judges across China.
