## 一、详细说明 
Who We Are
The Asia-Pacific Finance and Development Institute (AFDI) is a public institution established by the Chinese government under the APEC Finance Ministers’ Process to advance regional capacity building. AFDI is the first institution established by the Chinese government under the framework of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) to promote regional capacity building. It is hosted by and shares the same leadership and core function team with the Shanghai National Accounting Institute (SNAI) affiliated with the Ministry of Finance of China.
The development of AFDI stems from the Chinese government’s long-term practice of promoting regional cooperation. In 2001, under the leadership of the Chinese government, the APEC Finance and Development Program (AFDP) was established within the framework of the APEC Finance Ministers’ Process, with the aim of promoting regional capacity building through this platform. In November 2004, to further advance this work, the Chinese government decided to establish the Asia-Pacific Finance and Development Center (AFDC) on the basis of AFDP. In November 2014, in response to new regional needs for knowledge sharing and capacity building in the financial and economic fields, the Chinese government announced theupgrading of AFDC into the Asia-Pacific Finance and Development Institute (AFDI).
