WASHINGTON, DC – Engage China, a coalition of 12 financial services trade associations united in support of high-level engagement with China with an emphasis on greater market access and continued financial sector reform in China, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce submitted a letter yesterday to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner that strongly encourages him to ensure that continued financial reform and modernization in China – including greater foreign participation – will be a priority item at the upcoming U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue (S&ED) on May 3rd-4th. The letter further outlines U.S. financial services priorities for the S&ED.
In their letter, the groups write: “We believe a continued and coordinated Administration strategy is critical if U.S. financial services firms are to achieve a level playing field and increased opportunities in China.”
