Dr Chan explained that the administration was working with other governments on initiatives including free-trade and investment agreements, with the aim of helping local businesses access markets in Belt and Road countries. He added that several schemes had been launched to attract talent to Hong Kong including the Innovation and Technology Fund, while InvestHK had set up a dedicated fintech team to attract enterprises in this space to set up or expand in Hong Kong.
