Registration Closed

Hong Kong is one of the world’s most vibrant international financial centres, with the financial services sector as a crucial pillar of its economy.

In his third Policy Address, the Chief Executive of the HKSAR announced plans to develop the city into a world-class gold and commodity trading hub, capitalizing on the region’s advantages as a free economy characterized by security and stability. The initiative raises questions about potential new growth areas within the financial sector. How can the Financial Services and Treasury Bureau facilitate this development?

Additionally, Hong Kong aspires to be a leading centre for green and sustainable finance in Asia, supporting the green transformation of both the Mainland and the broader region. The Government is set to introduce the Sustainable Finance Action Agenda and a roadmap to fully adopt ISSB standards while providing a platform for the transparent trading of voluntary carbon credits through HKEX’s climate initiatives.

To discuss these significant measures and the Bureau’s role in expediting Hong Kong's development as an international hub for green and sustainable finance, Christopher Hui, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, will host a Town Hall Forum on 2 December. This is an exclusive event with limited attendance, so reserve your seat early to engage with the Secretary and share your insights in person.
