Co-chaired by Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng and the Chancellor, the EFD is a key mechanism for government-to-government bilateral exchange and communication and is expected to result in significant outcomes for British business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the EFD on Saturday, 11 January 2025, a series of substantial outcomes were announced, covering a wide range of sectors and initiatives. We summarise below some of the key messages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pragmatic cooperation with China will result in agreements worth \u00a3600 million to the UK economy over the next five years and sets a course to deliver up to \u00a31 billion of value for the UK economy.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New licences and quota allocations for UK financial firms such as HSBC, Schroders, abrdn and Aspect Capital have been granted, as well as initiatives to improve capital market connectivity, <a href=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/pension-reform-in-china-and-the-role-of-private-insurance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pensions<\/a> (including the establishment of a UK-China Pensions Symposium on a regular basis), insurance and sustainable finance cooperation.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A range of initiatives have been announced to cover better capital markets connectivity (including bond issues in the UK market), greater offshore RMB trading and hedging.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In services, there are a range of commitments to address market access in China for law firms, engineers, and accountancy qualifications.<br>\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are also a number of commitments to improve people to people exchanges, including a new UK-China Chevening Financial Fellowship programme.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) and the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) agreed to convene the 14th UK-China Joint Economic and Trade Commission.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>CBBC will ensure that it is central to these activities, offering its members the opportunity to be part of these vital exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe agreements we\u2019ve reached show that pragmatic cooperation between the world\u2019s largest economies can help us boost economic growth for the benefit of working people \u2013 a priority of our Plan for Change,\u201d the Chancellor said. \u201cMore widely, today is a platform for respectful and consistent future relations with China. One where we can be frank and open on areas where we disagree, protecting our values and security interests, and finding opportunities for safe trade and investment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CBBC President, Lord Sassoon, said: \u201cUK-China Economic and Financial Dialogues have had a significant impact on generating investment, jobs and profitable business for the UK over many years. The resumption of the EFD is welcomed by our members, both in financial and professional services, but also across the wider economy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-data443-irp-shortcode irp-shortcode\"><div style=\"clear:both; margin-top:2em; margin-bottom:2em;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/why-developing-understanding-of-china-among-the-uks-next-generation-is-critical-to-our-long-term-relationship\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"dofollow\" class=\"u3192f3338a740a7777d7da63d63affcd\"><style> .u3192f3338a740a7777d7da63d63affcd { padding:0px; margin: 0; padding-top:1em!important; padding-bottom:1em!important; width:100%; display: block; font-weight:bold; background-color:#eaeaea; border:0!important; border-left:4px solid #E74C3C!important; box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -o-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); text-decoration:none; } .u3192f3338a740a7777d7da63d63affcd:active, .u3192f3338a740a7777d7da63d63affcd:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; text-decoration:none; } .u3192f3338a740a7777d7da63d63affcd { transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; } .u3192f3338a740a7777d7da63d63affcd .ctaText { font-weight:bold; color:#E74C3C; text-decoration:none; font-size: 16px; } .u3192f3338a740a7777d7da63d63affcd .postTitle { color:#000000; text-decoration: underline!important; font-size: 16px; } .u3192f3338a740a7777d7da63d63affcd:hover .postTitle { text-decoration: underline!important; } <\/style><div style=\"padding-left:1em; padding-right:1em;\"><span class=\"ctaText\">Read Also<\/span>&nbsp; <span class=\"postTitle\">British youth need to understand China better \u2013 here's why<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>CBBC played a central role in the visit, including organising a roundtable for the Chancellor to meet with leading British companies in China and co-hosting a reception, bringing together UK and Chinese business representatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government is explicit in its desire to build a platform for a long-term relationship with China that works squarely in our national interest \u2013 ensuring our economy has the broad base and resilient foundations for the growth that makes working people in every corner of Britain better off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commenting on Reeves\u2019 visit to China, CBBC Chief Executive <a href=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/cbbc-ceo-peter-burnett-on-chinas-economic-development-achievements\/\">Peter Burnett<\/a> said, \u201cCBBC is delighted to see the 11th EFD underway after a break of some six years.
