The Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance deepened its global connections throughout 2025, co-hosting the U.S.-China Economic Dialogue with the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, conducting 13 international exchanges, and signing seven cooperation agreements with global partners.
International students accounted for nearly 30% of SAIF's Master of Finance program, representing 17 countries and regions across four continents. Overseas classrooms, launched in partnership with leading institutions, extended to the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Indonesia, and Japan.
SAIF organized the China International Conference in Finance (CICF), gathering 1,345 scholars worldwide, and expanded its Southeast Asian presence from Singapore and Indonesia into Vietnam and Malaysia.
Hong Yan, Deputy Dean of SAIF, observed: "SAIF has expanded its global reach and enhanced its international impact in recent years. Moving forward, SAIF will remain open and connected, leveraging global resources to cultivate financial leaders with international vision grounded in Chinese context. SAIF will contribute to China's opening, international cooperation, and Shanghai's development as a financial center, advancing toward a world-leading institute anchored in Shanghai, serving the nation, and impacting the globe."
