In the presence of over 80 distinguished guests from the financial, business, and academic sectors, Mr. Yue elucidated the robust nature of Hong Kong’s financial and monetary systems. His address emphasized Hong Kong’s resilient financial ecosystem and its vital role in the international finance arena. Furthermore, Mr. Yue’s insights into how Hong Kong is adeptly positioning itself amid shifting global trends — notably the region’s integration with Mainland China’s market openings and strides toward sustainability and digitization — were particularly enlightening, especially regarding green finance and fintech.
Complementing Mr. Yue’s comprehensive analysis, Mr. Jean-Pierre Landau, the esteemed former Deputy Governor of the Banque de France, provided his perspectives, underscoring the significance of Hong Kong’s financial sector from a European standpoint.
