With technology at the core of it, the success of a market’s financial services industry is built upon connectivity across companies, industries, and economies. Indisputably, with people and capital flows having faced a certain degree of disruption, the role of technology in defining one’s competitiveness has become more significant. Thankfully, enabled by the emergence and adoption of advanced technologies by different stakeholders, Hong Kong’s status as a leading international financial centre has remained resilient, continuing to lead its Asian peers in the Global Financial Centre Index 31.
The Greater Bay Area (GBA), involving the special administrations of Hong Kong and Macao, together with nine cities in the Guangdong provinces, has a 86 million population and an economic size of USD 1,668.8 billion as of 2020, higher than the economic output of Canada that ranked 9th among all nations. Meanwhile, having two of the world’s top 10 global financial centres — namely Hong Kong (3rd) and Shenzhen (10th) — located in the GBA, many trendwatchers and partakers are confident in the further development of the region. But what lays in store for us?
This panel, featuring prominent drivers in the public and private sectors, will highlight some key initiatives happening in Hong Kong and the GBA. The panellists will also discuss some opportunities, as well as challenges, presented in the journey.
