Based on reporting by South China Morning Post:
John Waldron, the president of Goldman Sachs, has called for China to relax foreign exchange regulations, reduce limitations on cross-border data movement, and enhance regulatory clarity as Chinese authorities work to bolster Shanghai's standing as an international financial center. Waldron, who also serves as the investment bank's chief operating officer and is viewed by some as a potential successor to CEO David Solomon, voiced his belief in the city's capacity during the 38th International Business Leaders’ Advisory Council meeting for the Shanghai government.
At the meeting on Sunday, Waldron stated that Shanghai possesses a significant chance to evolve into a premier global capital market hub. He further noted that global investors rely heavily on transparency, predictability, and consistency as the three most crucial elements for building confidence when deciding where to allocate capital compared to other worldwide investment prospects.
