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.
