Commencement of the Silk Road Countries Financial Index development :                                         

(Research Cooperation with China Business Centre)

​

In order to provide investors a comprehensible and comparable index that could act as a reference when investing the Belt & Road, the Silk Road Economic Development Research Centre is proud to announce our cooperation with the China Business Centre to study the financial market development in each individual country and publish the Silk Road Countries Financial Index (“the Index”).

Characteristics of the Index

  • Focuses on regional feature when compared to other financial indices:

  • this makes the Silk Road Countries Financial Index distinctive from current existing financial indices that are mostly focused on developed markets and on competitiveness

  • Mostly covering countries with financial markets that are yet to be developed 

  • The Index will be based mainly on bank interest, scale of securities market, futures market and insurance market, as well as market development and risk regulatory. The Index will also consider major factors such as financial infrastructure and the scale of real economy

  • Acts as a potential guide for individual governments when considering the direction and ways of developing their own financial markets, and also to display the financial market maturity of specific country and region for investors as a reference

We are currently at the initial stage of the research, which requires enormous time, manpower and financial resources. Please look forward to the publication of the Index in the future and follow our website closely for any updates.
