Hong Kong is doubling down on its role as a bridge between the Chinese mainland and global markets, focusing on fintech, green finance, and cross-border collaboration. At the 2024 Financial Street Forum, Laurence Li, chairman of the Financial Services Development Council (FSDC), shared his vision for the city’s future: \"Diversity isn’t just a buzzword—it’s Hong Kong’s superpower.\"
Li highlighted the city’s plans to attract international talent and streamline regulations for emerging sectors like blockchain and sustainable investing. 🌱 He also emphasized partnerships with Shenzhen and other mainland tech hubs to create a \"mega ecosystem\" for innovation.
With over 60% of international green bonds in Asia issued through Hong Kong last year, Li teased upcoming projects to make the city a carbon-neutral finance leader by 2035. 💡 \"We’re not just following trends—we’re building the playground,\" he told CGTN reporter Wang Tianyu.
