SAO PAULO, May 21, 2025 — China International Capital Corporation Limited (CICC) successfully hosted its inaugural “China-Brazil Economic and Finance Conference” in São Paulo, Brazil, on May 20, 2025. The event drew hundreds of attendees, including government officials and representatives from leading Chinese and Brazilian enterprises and investment firms. CICC was represented by Xu Yicheng, a Member of its Management Committee.
In his opening address, Xu highlighted the extensive experience of Chinese companies in both traditional sectors like equipment manufacturing and infrastructure, and emerging industries such as high technology and new energy. He emphasized that these strengths complement Brazil’s new “Growth Acceleration Program” and its “re-industrialization” objectives. He also pointed to the significant potential for collaboration between the two nations in areas including trade and investment, industrial synergy, green transition, and technological innovation.
Xu also outlined CICC’s business strengths, its dedication to international expansion, and its recent achievements in Brazil. He noted CICC’s successful involvement in the split and divestiture of Oi’s broadband division, its role in facilitating Goldwind’s acquisition of GE’s wind equipment manufacturing facility in Brazil, and its support for Daimler’s smooth sale of its Brazilian passenger car plant to Great Wall Motors.
The conference featured presentations and discussions from over twenty prominent figures from governments, financial institutions, and leading companies in both China and Brazil. These discussions centered on macroeconomics, cross-border investment trends, and developments in industry and financial markets. Key discussion topics included “Economic, Trade and Investment Perspectives between China and Brazil,” “Clean Energy Frontier: Advancing China-Brazil Cooperation in Sustainable Energy,” and “Deepening China-Brazil Economic Ties: Consumer Economy Driving New Cross-border Investment Trends.” Representatives from organizations such as the Brazilian National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES), Eletrobras, the Brazil-China Business Council, and the Brazilian Stock Exchange B3, also participated.
This conference represents CICC’s first major event in Latin America. Moving forward, CICC intends to leverage its integrated capabilities in “investment + investment banking + research” to stimulate investment and cross-border capital flows between China and Brazil. CICC plans to facilitate increased investment by leading Chinese firms in Brazil, particularly in sectors like clean energy, mining, agriculture, advanced manufacturing, e-commerce, and infrastructure. Simultaneously, it will support Brazilian companies in their investment and capital market activities in China, such as issuing RMB-denominated bonds (Panda Bonds) and pursuing listings in Hong Kong. By expanding its operations in Latin America and strengthening relationships with local public sectors, businesses, financial institutions, and research bodies, CICC aims to further promote China-Brazil investment cooperation and contribute to cross-border economic and trade growth.
