（Singapore, 16.09.2025) Against the backdrop of shifting geopolitics and accelerating digital transformation, CCB International (Singapore) Pte Ltd (“CCBI Singapore”) convened the 2nd China Investment Conference at China Construction Bank’s Singapore Branch today. Over two days, more than a dozen listed companies from mainland China and Hong Kong engaged with over one hundred ASEAN investors, reaffirming Singapore’s role as a bridge between China and Southeast Asia.
The thematic forum “New Rules · New Realities”, underscored the urgency for enterprises and investors to adapt to a rapidly evolving global order. The discussions centered on strengthening capital connectivity between China and ASEAN, building synergies between technology and finance, and fostering direct dialogue between companies and investors. CCBI Singapore positioned the conference as part of its broader ambition to promote a high-level triangular cycle of “Technology -Industry – Finance” within the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) region.
The opening day featured thought leaders such as Alex Capri, Lecturer at the National University of Singapore Business School, and Victoria Mio, Head of Greater China Equities at Janus Henderson Investors. Executives from listed companies including BlueFocus Intelligent Communications, Yidu Tech, Ubtech Robotics, and Antengene Corp shared perspectives on artificial intelligence, the reshaping of global supply chains, and the fresh momentum injected by China’s push in high-end manufacturing and green energy.
The conference coincided with the 35th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Singapore, at a moment when bilateral and regional cooperation carries heightened significance. Since the RCEP agreement took effect two years ago, China–ASEAN trade has surpassed RMB 6.99 trillion, accounting for almost 16% of China’s total foreign trade. As ASEAN’s financial hub, Singapore continues to channel capital flows across the region, leveraging its well-developed financial ecosystem and trusted regulatory environment.
Established in 2015, CCBI Singapore has built a strong track record of facilitating cross-border investment and supporting ASEAN companies in accessing Chinese capital markets. The 2nd China Investment Conference highlighted the expertise CCB International has accumulated in Singapore over the past decade, as well as its unique role in advancing the internationalization of China Construction Bank.
Looking ahead, CCB International aims to deepen its presence in Singapore, using the city-state’s position as a global financial hub to attract long-term international capital into mainland Chinese and Hong Kong markets. By integrating finance with industry, CCBI Singapore is seeking to play a pivotal role in shaping China–ASEAN economic integration and helping businesses navigate the new rules and new realities of the global economy.
