According to him, "by the end of the year, we will complete the development of China's International Payment System, CIPS".

He also explained that the Chinese government undertakes active measures to become more open to the global community. "We have a high savings rate and large foreign exchange reserves. It is necessary to use these resources effectively, and to improve the efficiency of the financial sector, by reducing the key rate," Keqiang stated.

According to him, China will keep loosen restrictions on private capital access to the financial sector. "We will help develop private banks, and open the financial sector wider for the rest of the world. It is our goal," he said.
