习近平指出，党的十八大以来，我们积极探索新时代金融发展规律，不断加深对中国特色社会主义金融本质的认识，不断推进金融实践创新、理论创新、制度创新，积累了宝贵经验，逐步走出一条中国特色金融发展之路，这就是：坚持党中央对金融工作的集中统一领导，坚持以人民为中心的价值取向，坚持把金融服务实体经济作为根本宗旨，坚持把防控风险作为金融工作的永恒主题，坚持在市场化法治化轨道上推进金融创新发展，坚持深化金融供给侧结构性改革，坚持统筹金融开放和安全，坚持稳中求进工作总基调。这几条明确了新时代新征程金融工作怎么看、怎么干，是体现中国特色金融发展之路基本立场、观点、方法的有机整体。

习近平强调，金融强国应当基于强大的经济基础，具有领先世界的经济实力、科技实力和综合国力，同时具备一系列关键核心金融要素，即：拥有强大的货币、强大的中央银行、强大的金融机构、强大的国际金融中心、强大的金融监管、强大的金融人才队伍。建设金融强国需要长期努力，久久为功。必须加快构建中国特色现代金融体系，建立健全科学稳健的金融调控体系、结构合理的金融市场体系、分工协作的金融机构体系、完备有效的金融监管体系、多样化专业性的金融产品和服务体系、自主可控安全高效的金融基础设施体系。

习近平指出，要着力防范化解金融风险特别是系统性风险。金融监管要“长牙带刺”、有棱有角，关键在于金融监管部门和行业主管部门要明确责任，加强协作配合。在市场准入、审慎监管、行为监管等各个环节，都要严格执法，实现金融监管横向到边、纵向到底。各地要立足一域谋全局，落实好属地风险处置和维稳责任。风险处置过程中要坚决惩治腐败，严防道德风险。金融监管是系统工程，金融管理部门和宏观调控部门、行业主管部门、司法机关、纪检监察机关等都有相应职责，要加强监管协同，健全权责一致的风险处置责任机制。严厉打击金融犯罪。

习近平强调，要通过扩大对外开放，提高我国金融资源配置效率和能力，增强国际竞争力和规则影响力，稳慎把握好节奏和力度。要以制度型开放为重点推进金融高水平对外开放，落实准入前国民待遇加负面清单管理制度，对标国际高标准经贸协议中金融领域相关规则，精简限制性措施，增强开放政策的透明度、稳定性和可预期性，规范境外投融资行为，完善对共建“一带一路”的金融支持。要加强境内外金融市场互联互通，提升跨境投融资便利化水平，积极参与国际金融监管改革。要守住开放条件下的金融安全底线。

习近平指出，推动金融高质量发展、建设金融强国，要坚持法治和德治相结合，积极培育中国特色金融文化，做到：诚实守信，不逾越底线；以义取利，不唯利是图；稳健审慎，不急功近利；守正创新，不脱实向虚；依法合规，不胡作非为。

习近平最后强调，各级领导干部要增强金融思维和金融工作能力，坚持经济和金融一盘棋思想，认真落实中央金融工作会议的各项决策部署，统筹推进经济和金融高质量发展，为以中国式现代化全面推进强国建设、民族复兴伟业作出新的更大贡献。

BEIJING, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday stressed staying committed to the path of financial development with Chinese characteristics and boosting the high-quality development of the financial sector.

Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks while addressing the opening of a study session at the Party School of the CPC Central Committee (National Academy of Governance).

While abiding by the objective laws of modern financial development, the path of financial development with Chinese characteristics enjoys features that better suit China's national conditions and is fundamentally different from the Western financial model, Xi said at the study session attended by principal officials at the provincial and ministerial levels.

He called for firming up confidence and making sustained exploration and improvement to further broaden this path.

Members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee Zhao Leji, Wang Huning, Ding Xuexiang and Li Xi, as well as Vice President Han Zheng attended the opening ceremony of the study session. Cai Qi, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, presided over the event.

Since the 18th CPC National Congress, efforts have been made to constantly deepen the understanding of the essence of socialist finance with Chinese characteristics, and promote financial innovations in terms of practice, theories and institution, Xi said.

The country has accumulated valuable experience and gradually formed a path of financial development with Chinese characteristics, Xi said.

The path adheres to the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee over the financial work and adopts a people-centered approach, according to Xi.

It sticks to the fundamental purpose of serving the real economy, and takes preventing and controlling risks as the eternal theme of financial work, Xi said.

The path also follows the principles of promoting financial innovation and development on the track of marketization and rule of law, deepening supply-side structural reform of the financial sector, coordinating financial opening-up and security, and seeking progress while maintaining stability.

Xi noted that a financially robust country should be based on a strong economic foundation, possessing leading economic, scientific, technological and overall national strength in the world.

At the same time, a country with great financial strength should also boast a series of key core financial elements, namely, a strong currency, a strong central bank, strong financial institutions, strong international financial centers, strong financial supervision and regulation, and a strong financial talent pool, he said.

To strengthen China's financial capabilities, Xi urged efforts to accelerate the building of a modern financial system with Chinese characteristics, and establish and improve a scientific and prudent financial regulation system, a reasonably structured financial market system, a financial institution system with division of tasks and collaboration, a complete and effective financial oversight system, a diversified and professional financial product and service system, and an independent, controllable, safe and efficient financial infrastructure system.

He emphasized efforts to prevent and defuse financial risks, especially systemic risks.

Financial oversight needs to have "teeth and thorns" and be sharp-pointed, he said, adding that law enforcement should be strict in market access, prudential oversight and behavioral regulation.

By boosting opening-up, China will work to enhance the efficiency and capability of financial resource allocation, improve global competitiveness and rule-making influence, and maintain a steady and prudent rhythm and intensity, he said.

It is necessary to promote high-level financial opening-up by focusing on institutional opening-up, and implement the pre-establishment national treatment plus negative list management system, he noted.

Xi stressed alignment with financial rules in global high-level economic and trade agreements, fewer restrictive measures, and better transparency, stability and predictability of opening-up policies.

More should be done to regulate overseas investment and financing activities and improve financial support for the Belt and Road cooperation, he said.

To boost the country's financial strength, it is important to adhere to the combination of the rule of law and the rule of virtue and cultivate a financial culture with Chinese characteristics, he said.

Such a culture adheres to the following principles: being honest and trustworthy; seeking gains through righteous approaches and avoiding a single-minded focus on profit; maintaining prudence and caution in work without succumbing to the lure of quick success; preventing funds from being diverted out of the real economy; ensuring compliance with laws and regulations, and refraining from reckless actions.

Cai Qi said that it is important to deeply understand and grasp the rich connotations of Xi's important words and align thoughts and actions with the decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee.
