Day 1 overview at ATS Guangzhou: Regulation in focus
Day 1 of ATS Guangzhou featured some of the industry’s biggest venues, including a decorated group of sponsors and exhibitors. This includes CMC Markets, Amana Capital, AvaTrade, FxOpen, and many others.
It is not often that a singular event can bridge the global trading industry, covering both the East and the West. China itself has undergone a recent change in terms of regulations that has affected a number of key segments. This, in turn, had implemented a layer of uncertainty as the country grapples with a new playing field.
The first of the two-day event at ATS Guangzhou touched on several key points and discussions surrounding China’s role in the trading industry and other key regulatory headwinds facing the country. This was on full display during multiple seminars, workshops, and panels.
Key topics included the role of fintech projects in light of bolstered regulatory measures in China, increased financial opportunities in both Hong Kong and Macau, and an exploration of the growing offshore RMB market. Panel discussions entailed a breakdown of the trading ecosystem in China, with an emphasis on FX, and a panel delving into risk management practices.
A look at what is happening during Day 2
With regulation playing such a large role in China, it is no surprise this segment has taken center stage at ATS Guangzhou. Day 2 at the event at other areas of the financial services industry, including the commodities market.
