Approved by the State Council and the China Securities Regulatory Commission, China Financial Futures Exchange (CFFE) was set up in Shanghai on September 8, 2006.

Now the exchange is preparing for the launch of stock index futures and options and studying on financial derivatives including treasury bonds and foreign exchange futures and options, in a bid to further reform and improve the structure of China's capital market.

CFFE aims to develop toward a standardized, weathy, transparent and multifunctional derivatives exchange center.
