The Silk Road Fund, led by medium and long-term development and investment, and with marketization, internationalization, and specialization as its operating principles, has been in operation for more than six years and has actively promoted various forms of cooperation with domestic and foreign financial institutions. At present, it has signed contracts for equity investment. There are 47 major projects of various types, with a committed investment of US$17.8 billion, covering many countries along the Belt and Road.

Since its establishment, the Silk Road Fund has adhered to the principle of “consulting, co-constructing, and sharing” proposed by the Belt and Road Initiative, and has established extensive cooperative relations with investors from more than 30 countries and regions, as well as many international and regional organizations.

At present, the new crown epidemic is causing the world to face an unprecedented challenge. The latest World Economic Outlook issued by the IMF pointed out that the world economy is expected to decline by 4.4% this year. Facing the new situation, China has proposed to build a new development pattern that focuses on the domestic big cycle and promotes the mutual promotion of the domestic and international double cycles.

Facing the new situation and new pattern, it is necessary to further carry out investment cooperation, give more play to the role of equity investment, increase green investment and expand RMB overseas investment, and jointly build a high-quality One Belt One Road.

This is the situation introduced by Xie Duo, Chairman of the Silk Road Fund Company, at the Financial Cooperation and Reform Parallel Forum of the 2020 Financial Street Forum Annual Meeting held on the 23rd. Editor/Sang Xiaomei
