On September 19, the 2026 Tsinghua Wudaokou Chief Economists' Forum was held at Tsinghua University. The theme was “2026 China and World Economy Review and Prospects: Global Rebalancing and International Monetary System Restructuring”. Yu Jinliang, Party Secretary and Chair Professor of Finance, Tsinghua University's Wudaokou School of Finance attended and delivered a speech. Yu Jinliang pointed out that now the world economic landscape has been profoundly adjusted, the global industrial chain supply chain is being restructured at an accelerated pace, geopolitical conflicts are intertwined with a new round of scientific and technological revolution, and the global financial system is undergoing profound changes. In particular, the deep integration of artificial intelligence and finance is fundamentally reshaping the operational logic of finance, and data, computing power, and algorithms are increasingly becoming the new foundation for financial operations. Financial institutions are moving from digital retention to intelligent decision-making, and the industrial boundaries between finance and technology are becoming increasingly blurred. At the same time, the trend of diversifying reserve currencies is gradually showing. Digital technology is changing the underlying logic of cross-border payments and currency operations, and financial security, resilience, autonomy and controllability are more important than ever before.
