China's President Xi said at the start of 2019: “We are running at full speed towards the realization of our dreams.” To mark the Lunar New Year, Refinitiv considers the new opportunities in China and how our open platform innovation can help realize those dreams.
- ‘Data is just the beginning’. A bilingual Lunar New Year message from Nicole Chen, Head of China, Refinitiv, highlights our role in a new era of opportunities in China.
- Refinitiv China’s new year goals include harnessing data and AI for broader and deeper content sets, as well as the delivery of analytics tools to drive #SmarterTrading.
- We also aim to help more China financial institutions and enterprises to enhance their regulatory compliance and manage third-party risks.
As we enter the Chinese Lunar Year of the Pig, please allow me on behalf of Refinitiv China to extend our sincerest gratitude and heartfelt blessings to the government departments, clients, partners, media and staff members who have given us support and care all the time!
Wishing you all a happy new year!
Over the past year, we have experienced a shift from the Financial & Risk business of Thomson Reuters to Refinitiv, from a brand that is well known to the public to a new company that is somewhat unfamiliar to everyone. But what remains unchanged is our determination and commitment to connect the global financial market.
Refinitiv milestones
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Our company has made tremendous efforts to live up to our commitments during the past year. It was an amazing year! We provide services for more than 400,000 professionals in 40,000 firms globally.
We help empower hundreds of billions of dollars in trading with up to seven million updates per second delivered by data feeds for over 70 million instruments. With up to 32,000 risk intelligence records created every month, we fully support the battle against financial crime. With over 13,000 registered developers on our platforms and 2,000+ active partnerships, our open platform fosters innovation and brings together expertise.
We have also developed strategic partnerships with China’s most influential financial media group Caixin to provide investors around the world with more insights and in-depth analysis on China’s economy and markets.
Serving China’s financial market
In China, we have consolidated and strengthened our leading position in financial trading information technology and better served the localization needs of Chinese customers through our global trading network and innovative technologies. In the Chinese financial market, we updated the transaction data of Bond Connect, China’s crude oil futures, and CFETS FX2017 to provide investors with real-time and accurate data information.
Refinitiv also launched BRI Connect earlier this year. Available exclusively through Refinitiv’s financial markets desktop Eikon, BRI Connect helps financial professionals to monitor specific projects; access unparalleled coverage of financing deals and primary capital markets; a better understanding of where to invest in BRI; secure accurate, up-to-date country risk ratings; and mitigate counterparty exposure when operating along cross-border transactions in BRI countries.
We successfully hosted The 7th RMB Outlook Summit on RMB Internationalization, FX market trend and other hot topics. Meanwhile, we hosted the second National Financial Risk, RegTech and Compliance Summit, which further helped Chinese companies understand and deal with financial risks. We also introduced the China Cross-Border M&A Forum for the first time, to share the trends and insights of cross-border activities in China and around the world.
Tools for smarter trading
As the new year begins, let us also start anew.
Looking to 2019, our goals are firm and clear as always: harness data and AI to deliver broader, deeper and real-time content sets; integrate data with powerful analytics and workflow tools to drive smarter trading execution and better investment strategies; deliver better data to enable more sustainable investments in a world that urgently needs to de-carbonize; deploy data and AI to support the continued fight against financial crime; and manage increasingly complex and onerous regulatory and compliance risks.
Managing third-party risks
With this in mind, in China, we will continue to promote connectivity among domestic financial market infrastructures, increase investment and the application of new technologies, improve data and content related to China, and better meet clients’ multi-domain, multi-level needs in transactions, investment, wealth management and so on.
In the era of further opening up in China, we will also help more Chinese financial institutions and enterprises to further enhance regulatory compliance capabilities, manage third-party risks, and support Chinese enterprises to “going global”.
New era, new opportunities in China, and data is just the beginning!
Watch: New year, new opportunities in China
As President Xi said in his 2019 new year’s speech: “We are running at full speed towards the realization of our dreams.” In the new year, Refinitiv looks forward to running together with you beyond the speed of change to realize our dreams.
以梦为马，数据先行
习近平主席在2019年新年贺词里所说“我们都在努力奔跑，我们都是追梦人。”中国农历新年伊始，路孚特思考了中国新机遇以及我们的开放式创新平台可以如何助力追梦。
1. “商务之道，数据先行”，路孚特中国区董事总经理陈芳女士发表了农历新年祝福，强调了路孚特在中国的新纪元与新机遇中将扮演的角色。
2. 路孚特中国在新的一年将提供更广泛、深入和最及时的内容；将数据与人工智能及分析工具相结合，推动更智能的交易执行。
3. 路孚特也希望可以帮助更多的中国金融机构和企业加强监管合规与第三方风险管理。
新年的钟声已经敲响，我们跨入了中国农历“猪年”。首先请允许我代表路孚特中国，向始终给予我们支持和关心的政府部门、客户、合作伙伴、媒体以及所有路孚特中国的小伙伴们，致以最诚挚的感谢和最衷心的祝福！大家过年好！
过去的一年，我们经历了从汤森路透金融与风险部门到路孚特的转变，从一个为公众所熟知的名字，变成了一个大家还略显陌生的新公司。但不变的，是我们连接全球金融市场的决心和承诺。
路孚特里程碑
千里之行，始于足下。回顾2018，我们始终努力践行着自己的承诺，这是了不起的一年！路孚特为全球4万家企业超过40万名从业者提供服务。我们的交易数据每秒传递高达700万条行情更新，支撑着全球7000多万种投资工具数十亿美元的交易。通过每月高达3万2千份风险情报记录，我们全力支持针对金融犯罪的打击。而在我们的开放平台上，超过1万3千名开发者和2000多家合作伙伴在与路孚特一道推动着金融行业的各项创新。
我们还与中国最有影响力的媒体之一达成了全面合作，为全球投资提供更加详实的中国经济发展内容。
服务中国金融市场
在中国，我们巩固和加强了在金融交易信息技术领域的领先地位，并通过我们全球性的交易网络和创新技术，更好地服务于中国客户的本地化需求。伴随国内金融市场的开放创新，我们在第一时间更新了债券通、人民币原油期货、外汇交易中心新平台等交易数据内容，为投资者提供实时准确的数据信息。我们成功举办了第七届人民币展望论坛，汇聚各路专家畅谈人民币国际化、外汇交易趋势等热门话题；第二届中国金融风险及合规高峰论坛，进一步帮助中国企业了解和应对金融风险。而我们的高端跨境并购论坛更是首次进入中国，分享了中国及全球跨境并购交易的趋势和洞察。
为响应“一带一路”倡议，路孚特于年初正式推出了BRI Connect。作为路孚特的金融市场桌面工具Eikon上独有的应用，BRI Connect能够帮助金融专业人士监控特定项目，获得无可比拟的融资交易和一级资本市场信息，以及准确的、最新的国家风险评级，从而更好地了解“一带一路”倡议的投资机会，并降低在“一带一路”沿线国家进行跨境交易时的交易对手风险。
智能交易工具
一元复始，万象更新。展望2019，我们的目标同样坚定而清晰：以数据和人工智能为基础，提供更广泛、深入和最及时的内容；将数据与强大的分析及工具相结合，推动更好的投资策略和更智能的交易执行；向今天迫切需要实现节能减排的社会提供精准的数据以促进更加可持续的投资；利用数据和人工智能持续打击金融犯罪、应对日益复杂繁重的监管与合规风险。
管理第三方风险
为此，我们将继续致力于与国内金融基础设施之间的互联互通，加大对于新兴技术的投资和应用，完善与中国相关的数据和内容，更好地满足客户在交易、投资、财富管理等多领域、多层次的需求。在中国进一步扩大开放的新时代，我们也将帮助更多的中国金融机构和企业，进一步提升合规水平，把控第三方风险，为中企“走出去”向更高水平发展贡献力量。
新的纪元，新的机遇，而数据只是起点！正如习近平主席在2019年新年贺词里所说，我们都在努力奔跑，我们都是追梦人。新的一年，路孚特愿与您一道，以超越时代变化速度，逐梦前行！
