Industrial-Financial Service Base under the Shanghai Futures Exchange’s “Strengthening Foundations & Empowering Enterprises” initiative is a key brand project designed to provide refined and innovative market services. It represents a key measure to enhance the futures market’s capacity to serve the real economy. By leveraging the demonstrative role of leading industrial chain enterprises, the project aims to assist upstream and downstream enterprises in understanding and utilizing futures tools for risk management. This fosters deeper industry-finance collaboration and contributes to building a modern industrial system. Up to date, the project has established 134 such bases, comprising 94 industrial bases and 40 industrial-financial service bases.

 

This selection is a high recognition of Guangzhou Port’s “futures + spot” business practice, and also provides an important platform for the company to further serve the real economy and empower the port and shipping industry chain. At present, Guangzhou Port has been approved as a futures delivery warehouse for thermal coal, pulp, industrial silicon, and rebar, playing a role in serving the real economy and optimizing the circulation pattern of bulk commodities.

 

In the future, Guangzhou Port Co., Ltd. will take this opportunity to actively fulfill its responsibilities in enhancing the risk management capabilities of the industry chain, fostering the healthy development of the futures market, supporting innovation in exchange operations, and promoting the understanding of futures functions. Concurrently, it will further diversify deliverable futures products and deepen the integration between the port and shipping industry and the financial sector, driving high-quality industry development through practical actions.
