As ICMA’s annual flagship event in the Asia-Pacific region, this conference focused on China’s role, influence, and opportunities in global capital markets. In-depth discussions were conducted around core topics such as investment and risk management, key regulatory developments, cross-border market trends, and green and sustainable finance, providing an authoritative and efficient platform for communication and cooperation among domestic and international market participants. As a domestic professional institution holding full-license qualifications and deeply engaged in credit rating and green finance, Anrong Rating participated extensively in this major event, actively sharing industry insights and practical experience.
During the conference, the Anrong Rating team also held in-depth exchanges with ICMA Chief Executive Officer Mr Bryan Pascoe. The two sides exchanged views on key issues, including the internationalisation of China’s debt capital market, the localisation and practical implementation of ICMA global standards in China, and the development of green finance rating systems. Mr Bryan Pascoe recognised Anrong Rating’s professional practice in China’s green finance and credit rating fields and expressed his expectation of broader cooperation with Anrong Rating in the future, to jointly promote deeper integration between China’s market and international capital markets.
