CDI has approximately 100 full-time staff and with a network of affiliated scholars and experts from the region. They research leading issues concerning Chinese economic reforms and opening up. CDI also undertakes corporate consulting for domestic and foreign companies.[2]

The institute's research activities and consulting services focus on market economic activities and reform to promote new frameworks to replace traditional ones.[3] Shenzhen has historically been the city where China does pilot testing of new economic reforms since Deng Xiaoping designated it a Special Economic Zone.[4]

In December 2015, CDI was accredited as one of top 25 national high level think tanks in a pilot project of the Chinese central government which is aimed at promoting the building of new type think tanks with Chinese characteristics.[5]

Mr. Xiang Huaicheng, former Minister, Ministry of Finance, is the Chairman and Prof. Fan Gang, is the President.

In September 2015 CDI started a collaborative relationship with Z/Yen Group in London, UK and jointly launched the biannual Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI), a research publication which evaluates and ranks the competitiveness of the major financial centres around the world.[6]
