This program focuses on providing convenient two-way foreign exchange services for the salaries of employees of key state-supported units such as high-quality enterprises, universities, and research institutions. This facilitates the cross-border flow of talent in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and supports the construction of Shenzhen as an international science and technology innovation center.
