Hong Kong ranks fourth in the Global Financial Centres Index (#GFCI) 29 Report published by the Z/Yen from the UK and the China Development Institute from Shenzhen on 17 March 2021.
At the virtual webinar, the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau (FSTB) Mr Christopher Hui, noting that Hong Kong has moved one place up as the fourth global financial centre, highlighted that despite challenges and uncertainties presented by the Covid-19 pandemic, Hong Kong demonstrated resilience and robust performance in terms of IPO funds raised and trading volume.
FSDC Executive Director Dr King Au was thrilled that two of the top four and three of the top 10 financial centres in GFCI 29 are Chinese cities. He stressed that Hong Kong plays the unique role as a super connector bridging the Mainland and the world and the opportunities arising from the Great Bay Area will further expand the status of Hong Kong as an international financial centre.
