“CDF之声”栏目旨在汇聚关注、支持和参与论坛的重要商业领袖，向国内公众和国际社会传递论坛与会代表的心声。

新冠肺炎疫情爆发后，论坛中外方企业纷纷支持中国抗疫工作。“CDF之声”借此推出特别系列，今天发声的是渣打集团行政总裁温拓思（Bill Winters）。

渣打集团行政总裁温拓思（Bill Winters）在视频中对受疫情影响的人们表示关切，肯定了中国抗击疫情的努力，对疫情后的中国经济发展、中国资本市场开放充满信心，并期待参加今年的中国发展高层论坛。

“中国是世界经济的发展引擎，今年前几个月的经济增长可能会受疫情影响，但我们认为中国经济很快会恢复正常。”

温拓思认为，疫情会对中国经济的增长造成一定的影响，当务之急是在控制疫情的同时把经济拉回正轨。同时，他对中国经济的韧性充满信心，相信中国经济很快会恢复正常，渣打会一如既往地重视中国市场，并不断推动国际资本进入中国市场。

此外，温拓思在视频中也提到，当前中国在抗击疫情方面的决定是非常成功的，渣打支持中国抗击疫情。

新冠疫情发生后，渣打银行向上海市慈善基金会捐款人民币100万元，用于购买湖北目前所急需的医疗物资，为奋战在抗击新冠肺炎一线的医护人员提供防护和支持。同时，渣打集团发起全球员工筹款，号召全体渣打人为支持抗疫献出爱心。在业务层面，渣打采取多项措施和优惠政策，帮助有捐助意愿或受疫情影响的企业和个人。

“我们相信结果会证明中国在抗击疫情方面的决定是非常非常成功的，疫情得到了控制，经济也会完全恢复。”

以下是视频中英文全文：

非常期盼着参加今年的中国发展高层论坛。

论坛因新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情不得已推迟，疫情带来的挑战巨大，影响到我们每个人，当然我最牵挂的还是身在中国的朋友们、同事们和我们的客户。

众所周知，中国是世界经济的发展引擎，今年前几个月的经济增长可能会受疫情影响，但我们认为中国经济很快会恢复正常。

我为身在湖北武汉和中国其他地方的同事们深感骄傲和自豪，他们尽其所能，力保了银行业务的正常运转，在此期间，同事们还要克服疫情对他们自身带来的种种困难。

我们业务会受到一些影响，中国经济也是，我们会密切关注这些方面的影响。但是，我们对自己银行业务的韧性，对整个中国的韧性充满信心。

现在的当务之急是控制疫情，防控工作正在有序推进当中，并取得了令人鼓舞的成绩。另一方面，就是重新把经济拉回正轨，恢复供应链体系的正常运转，尽可能减少对市场供应的影响，减小对更广方面的金融市场的冲击。

世界与中国肩并肩站在一起，共克时艰，抗击疫情。我们知道中国在抗击疫情方面的决定是非常果敢的，需要极大的勇气和决心，企业和人们的生活会受到影响。但是，我们相信结果会证明这些决定是非常非常成功的，疫情得到了控制，经济也会完全恢复。

渣打银行战略重点的第一位就是，继续推动中国的发展，创造更多就业，发展经济， 并为中国和世界创造更多繁荣。
我们会一如既往地重视中国市场，不断投资于中国资本市场开放，不断帮助中国企业“走出去”拓展国际业务，不断推动国际资本进入中国市场，在后疫情阶段的经济恢复，这些方面至关重要。

期待着在中国发展高层论坛和诸位探讨以上及其他与中国经济发展相关的话题，同时，渣打银行会全心全意支持你们，与你们同在。

Very much looking forward to attending the China Development Forum later this year.

We all know it needs to be moved because the tremendous challenges around the coronavirus, which affected all of us, but nobody more than our friends, colleagues, and clients in China.

And we know China is the global growth engine and all that growth may be impacted in the early part of this year, we expect it to recover back to normal level very quickly.

I am very proud of my colleagues in Wuhan, Hubei province and the rest in China, who have done everything in their power to make sure the Standard Chartered Bank continues to operate in a smooth and seamless way, while dealing with tremendous adversity themselves. 

Of course, our business has been impacted, as that is the economy of China, that is something we will be watching very carefully. But we have no doubt about the resilience of our business we have no doubt about the resilience of China. 

First and foremost to contain the virus, which seems to be well under way and progressing in a very encouraging way. But also to get the economy back at running, and get these supply chains moving, minimize the disruption to the supply market and to the financial market more broadly.

But I would say the rest of world is very much with China in this particular fight.  We know the decision has taken a long way and has been very bold, and also very disruptive for businesses and for people’s lives, but we also know the fact that the result is going to be very very successful when we get this firmly contained and then go to a full recovery. 

At Standard Chartered, NO.1 on our list of strategic priorities has been and continues to be to help China to grow jobs, to develop economically and help deliver prosperity to the people of China and the rest of the world. 

That is something we will continue to invest in: investing in the opening up of capital markets, investing in helping Chinese companies to expand internationally, and helping bring international capital into China, which is extremely important for the post virus recovery phase as it has ever been. 

So looking forward to discussing these and other things in China Development Forum later this year, and in the meantime, please know you have the complete support of Standard Chartered Bank.
