Investing in SGJL is a must for SIG to complete its financial service value chain, a creative exploration for SIG to execute the municipal government’s strategy of encouraging the integration of financing and industry, and an endeavor for SIG to serve the real economy of Shanghai, especially the small and medium-sized enterprises and innovative companies.
