On November 7, 2015, the 12th Annual Global Conference of the International Finance Forum (IFF) was officially opened in Beijing. The theme of this year's conference was “New Power for World Growth”. This year's annual meeting looks at the opportunities and challenges facing the world's economic growth after the international financial crisis, focusing on the opportunities and challenges of the Chinese economy, and how to strengthen global multilateral cooperation through keynote speeches and discussions, roundtables, and IFF night talks. Deep-seated analysis and interpretation of the central issues of global financial reform and development, such as the development of the real economy and innovative financial services.
In the upcoming 2015, the international financial landscape has undergone major changes, and the world economic situation has become more complicated. After the global financial crisis, the pace of recovery within the developed economies and emerging economies as well as within developed economies and emerging economies is not uniform. The increase in external risks has made global monetary policy and financial markets more complex, and has become the most important "keyword" in the global financial landscape. The economic recovery in developed countries is difficult and tortuous, and the slowdown in economic growth in emerging market countries has become the norm in today's international economy. In the face of the continuous adjustment and impact of world politics, economy and science and technology, how to choose the road to change and strengthen multilateral cooperation; innovation of financial services and the development of the real economy have become central issues in global financial reform and development. The theme of this annual meeting is "new dynamics of world growth", which has very important practical significance.
I hope that through the high-level dialogues of more than 100 global financial leaders, we will further explore the path of innovation and change, strengthen multilateral cooperation, innovate financial services, develop the real economy, play the role of global multilateral development financial organization, promote infrastructure construction and economic development, and explore new ways. Financial financing channels and investment models reshape the new dynamics of world economic growth, promote global economic recovery and comprehensive and sustainable development, and provide forward-looking ideas and possible ways for the future development of the world.
As an independent international academic institution, the International Finance Forum (IFF) has gone through 12 years of history since its establishment in 2003. It has witnessed the ups and downs of the global economy and has gradually grown into a "high-level, high-level, internationalization". Global Financial Year Summit. Founded in China, it has been established by the world's major economies and the United Nations to launch an international financial diplomacy and strategic think tank platform. The International Finance Forum (IFF) and more than 200 financial politicians, financial executives, experts and scholars in more than 30 countries and In the region, more than 50 international and regional organizations have established close ties and partnerships. The International Finance Forum (IFF) is increasingly playing the role of “unofficial G20” and becoming the “F20” in the global financial arena.
In his speech, the International Finance Forum (IFF) Chairman and the 26th Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said that the International Finance Forum (IFF) is an important institution whose research should start from the international economy. The current situation in the international economy is difficult to describe. It is neither a crisis nor a flourishing, and it faces a series of exploration problems. The current speed of world economic growth fully illustrates the severe challenges facing the world today. It also shows that after seven years of the global financial crisis, the world economy has not fully recovered. This is an indisputable fact. If the world economy cannot rebound significantly, it will further worsen global poverty and even endanger global stability. Therefore, this year's annual meeting has chosen the theme of "new dynamics of world growth" as its theme.

First, the negative impact of global geopolitical instability on the global market; second, due to protectionism in various situations, international trade has weakened the growth of the world economy; third, the continued uncertainty of financial markets; Fourth, the low commodity prices in the past few years have not brought higher economic growth or more economic activities. The goal of the International Finance Forum is to hope to hear new opinions from all parties and hope to promote new cooperation in global financial and commercial activities.
