Beijing planning high-end financial hub in Chaoyang

Beijing's wealthiest area will try to attract high-end investors to its central business district in a bid to transform it into an international financial hub supporting a range of professional services.

Chaoyang district chief Chen Gang said that in the past, the district had tried to absorb investment regardless of how it fitted into an overall development plan.

"Now we are more selective. We will welcome only those investments which suit our long-term development goals," Mr Chen said.

Chaoyang's central business district is a 4 sq km area in central Beijing east of Tiananmen Square, home to multinational companies and expensive residences.

The government also wanted to cultivate a modern business service sector in the district, Mr Chen said. He said that while the service sector in the city had developed, the high-end part of the industry, including large global firms, had not materialised. "We are now building this part," he said.

Mr Chen said Hong Kong and Beijing could form partnerships to capitalise on their advantages.

"Beijing can provide opportunities for Hong Kong ... It can bolster Hong Kong's trade with the mainland's northern region," he said.

"[Opportunities] in the tourism and exhibition industry triggered by the Beijing Olympics could also benefit Hong Kong."

However, there are some doubts about the logic of establishing a financial sector in Chaoyang when Beijing already has its Finance Street in the Xicheng district, and Shanghai boasts its own financial services. Xu Yiguo , of the China Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of Banking and Finance, said the central government regarded Beijing as the mainland's political centre.

"But by not saying `no' to discussing Beijing's place as an international finance centre, [the central government] is saying `yes'," Mr Xu said.

There is also support for the plan among mainland academics. Senior researcher Wang Li , project director of the China Post-Doctoral Tehua Research Team, said Beijing had the foundation to become an international finance hub. "Both Beijing and Shanghai's finance industries account for 15 per cent of their city's overall gross domestic product, and this is on a par with developed countries," Mr Wang said. "Why not develop the two cities under the rules of a market economy?"

That idea was supported by Niu Fengrui , director of the China Academy of Social Sciences' city development and environment research centre.

"Beijing and Shanghai can serve different functions as international finance centres," Mr Niu said. "Beijing is the decision-making capital and the point of information release, and Shanghai is home to the finance markets for sectors such as securities, futures and gold. The cities are not in vicious competition."

More than two-thirds of the Fortune 500 companies in Beijing are based in Chaoyang. There are also more than 150 international banks, insurance and securities companies, and more than 200 professional agencies such as law firms and consulting companies.   -   SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST    30 Aug 2004
