Philosophy

As China strives towards developing a modern society amidst the rapid progress of economic globalization, the development of financial innovation will play an important role in driving our country’s economic growth. Currently, our country has major banks such as the Lao Foreign Trade Bank, the Lao Development Bank, the Agricultural Promotion Bank, the Lao-Viet Bank, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Vientiane Branch, the Lao-French Bank, and other government or privately-run banks, and in the future, there will be a new Lao Exim Bank and other foreign banks setting up in Laos. However, our country still faces many difficulties in the economic and financial fields, most notably the lack of professionals who are familiar with the actual operation of international finance. The development of the finance industry will inevitably lead to an expansion of the demand for financial talent. Therefore, our Lao-Suzhou University has decided to establish an international finance major, mainly to cultivate professionals in this field who possess comprehensive professional capabilities, good moral character, and the ability to meet the modern development needs of Laos.
