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.
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.

• Formulating and implementing market rules
• Self-regulatory measures for fairness and transparency
• Providing market data, statistics, and reports
• Providing technologies, infrastructure, and trading systems
• Other functions as approved by CSRC
Through these services, CFFEX has established a valuable and innovative entity that serves the needs of a wide range of investors.
