Small and medium-sized banks are an important part of the mainland's financial system, and play an indispensable role in leading local economic development, supporting local private enterprises, and promoting rural revitalization. With the comprehensive strengthening of financial supervision and the increasing competition in the industry, small and medium-sized banks are also facing many challenges. How to carry out characteristic operations based on the local area, achieve differentiated development, and improve the quality and efficiency of serving the real economy while preventing risks is an arduous task faced by small and medium-sized banks.
In this context, the Shanghai Finance and Development Lab and a number of small and medium-sized banks jointly launched the "Pujiang Small and Medium-sized Banks Forum", aiming to jointly discuss the problems and solutions in the transformation and development of small and medium-sized banks, and achieve high-quality development of small and medium-sized banks. The "Pujiang Small and Medium-sized Banks Forum" is positioned as a new type of professional think tank, which provides a comprehensive platform for policy exchanges, industry cooperation, resource sharing and brand building for small and medium-sized banks by gathering the resources of research institutions, small and medium-sized banks, technology enterprises and other professional service providers.
Small and medium-sized banks have many bottlenecks in terms of development concepts, resource investment and talent training, and need to strengthen industry cooperation and exchanges. The "Pujiang Small and Medium-sized Banks Forum" will create an open and aggregated new think tank ecosystem, comprehensively empower small and medium-sized banks with business innovation, refined management, digital transformation, and the cultivation of interdisciplinary financial talents, and provide high-quality think tank services for small and medium-sized banks. At the same time, the "Pujiang Small and Medium-sized Banks Forum" will actively play the role of a bridge and link, and through cooperation and sharing, help small and medium-sized banks better cope with market challenges, give full play to their own advantages, grasp development opportunities, and jointly promote the healthy development of the industry.
It is expected that the establishment of the "Pujiang Small and Medium-sized Banks Forum" will provide useful support and assistance for the development of small and medium-sized banks, and promote small and medium-sized banks to better serve the real economy and social development while achieving healthy and sustainable development.
