Hong Kong Monetary Authority publishes annual report: Consolidating Hong Kong's position as an international financial center, Li Luren | Talent | Hong Kong
However, with the continuous changes in the international environment, Hong Kong's development strategy as an international financial center also needs to change. From being a simple bridge connecting the East and the West in the past, it needs to further transform into a network connecting all places. In addition to attracting funds to Hong Kong, it should also be more proactive in exporting Hong Kong's financial services.
The FSDC held a press conference in Hong Kong on the 27th and published its 10th annual report, reviewing its work from April 2022 to March 2023 in the fiscal year.
The reporter learned at the meeting that the FSDC has published a total of 8 research reports and publications this year, and put forward many policy recommendations on consolidating Hong Kong's status as an international financial center, mainly focusing on strengthening Hong Kong as an asset and wealth management, private wealth management and The status of the family office hub; improve market liquidity; strengthen the interconnection of financial data in the region; promote the development of a voluntary carbon market and demonstrate Hong Kong's sound legal system and its relentless pursuit of green and sustainable financial initiatives.
Li Luren revealed that the FSDC plans to arrange more overseas visits in the new year, including visits to the Middle East. At the same time, it will carry out research cooperation with the Middle East and ASEAN to help Hong Kong expand the local market. He said that in addition to attracting investment in the Middle East and ASEAN, Hong Kong's financial services should also be exported to the region.
Feng Huajian, vice chairman and senior barrister of the FSDC, said that the FSDC hopes to further enhance Hong Kong's role as an international financial center, strengthen cooperation with the Middle East, ASEAN and other places, and explore more cooperation opportunities.
Talking about the international competition for "grabbing talents", Li Luren said that Hong Kong's connectivity to the mainland and overseas markets is quite attractive to the personal career development of talents, and he believes that there will be no problem of talents not coming to Hong Kong.
Shi Yingyin, a member of the board of directors of the Golden Development Bureau, believes that the shortage of talents reflects the rapid economic development, and the development of financial technology and green finance industries requires relevant talents. However, it is not enough to "rob talents" alone. More local talents need to be trained in Hong Kong.
Despite the challenges posed by the epidemic, the Board's development in research, marketing and talent development remains solid, said Au Jinglin, Chief Executive Officer of the Board. It is believed that the results achieved this year will lay the foundation for sustainable development in the future.
