The China Financial Futures Exchange (CFFEX) is a key player in China's financial landscape.The CFFEX was founded under the authorization of the State Council of the People's Republic of China and CSRC. CFFEX provides a platform for hedging against risk in trading, offering derivatives, primarily futures and options, with transparent prices, in a formal and secure trading environment.
The CFFEX started trading officially on September 8, 2006, in Shanghai (with the system prepared prior), and was sanctioned to operate by five institutions with participation from: Shanghai Futures Exchange, Zhengzhou Commodities Exchange, Dalian Commodity Exchange, Shanghai Stock Exchange, and Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
This initiative represented a significant commitment to reforming China's financial system, strengthening its national financial sector, and enabling the economy to engage with new international trends in economic development.
Although the CFFEX engages in physical trading of derivatives, it has assumed a strategic role in relation to China's capital markets. The mission of the CFFEX is to support the real economy and the country's multi-layered capital market.
