According to "Today's Construction Bank", on June 17, 2026, the 2026 Lujiazui Forum opened in Shanghai. Zhang Yi, President of China Construction Bank, attended the opening ceremony and the first plenary session of the forum, and spoke at the thematic conference on "Building a sound and comprehensive capital market". Zhang Yi pointed out that in building a sound and comprehensive capital market, financial institutions in the banking industry can play a greater role. Firstly, they should be good participants in the capital market, strengthening the quality supply of "patient capital" from banks, investing early, small, long-term, and in hard technology. Secondly, they should act as a bridge between the capital market and the credit market, actively promoting the integration of commercial and investment banking, optimizing comprehensive services such as stocks, loans, bonds, insurance, and leasing. Thirdly, they should be good suppliers of cross-border financial services, actively promoting the integration of domestic and foreign currencies, further deepening the interconnection of global capital markets.
