2006年,中国经济和对外贸易持续高速增长,金融体制改革进一步深化,中行、工行成功改制上市,中小股份制商业银行更加活跃,外资银行对中国市场的开发和渗透进一步加强。在这种环境下,竞争日益白热化的国际结算及贸易融资领域风起云涌、热点频变。回顾2006年我国国际结算及贸易融资业务市场,可将其表现和趋势总结为“一个中心,两个热点,三个转变,四个创新”。 In 2006, China’s economy and foreign trade continued their rapid growth. The reform of the financial system was further deepened. Bank of China and ICBC were successfully restructured and listed. Small and medium joint-stock commercial banks became more active. The development and infiltration of foreign-funded banks in the Chinese market were further strengthened. Under such circumstances, the hotly contested areas of international settlement and trade financing are becoming increasingly competitive. Reviewing the market for China’s international settlement and trade financing business in 2006, we can summarize its performance and trend as “one center, two hot spots, three changes and four innovations.”
