Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Christopher Hui Leads Financial Delegation to Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Suzhou
Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Christopher Hui, led a financial delegation of over 30 members to Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Suzhou on June 14. The primary objective of this visit is to strengthen financial cooperation between Hong Kong and the Yangtze River Delta region and to promote Hong Kong's diverse financial services to local enterprises.
The delegation members come from diverse backgrounds, including professionals from banking, securities, insurance, and fintech sectors. During the visit, the delegation will gain an in-depth understanding of the latest economic developments in the Yangtze River Delta and engage with local government officials and business leaders to explore further opportunities for cooperation.
During the visit to Shanghai, Christopher Hui will attend the prestigious "Lujiazui Forum" to discuss global financial market trends. Additionally, the delegation will visit leading technology companies and financial institutions, with a particular focus on innovative applications in fintech and green finance. These activities will help Hong Kong professionals grasp the pulse of the Mainland market and share Hong Kong's successful experiences.
Hui pointed out that as an international financial center, Hong Kong possesses the unique advantage of being "backed by the Motherland and connected to the world." He hopes that through this field visit, more outstanding enterprises from the Yangtze River Delta region will be encouraged to utilize Hong Kong's financing platform to go global. At the same time, this will allow Hong Kong's financial services industry to better serve the overall development of the country and achieve mutual benefits.
In summary, this visit is an important initiative to strengthen financial ties between the two regions. Through in-depth dialogue with cities like Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Suzhou, Hong Kong will be able to further play its role as a bridge between the Mainland and international markets. This will not only bring more opportunities to Hong Kong's financial industry but also drive the continuous growth and progress of the entire regional economy.
