Hong Kong, 15 January 2021 - The Financial Services Development Council (FSDC) today announced the appointment and reappointment of members to its Committees for a term of two years, with effect from 17 January 2021 to 16 January 2023.

These new and existing members have been appointed to the six committees (namely Policy Research Committee; Mainland Opportunities Committee; New Business Committee; Market Development Committee; Human Capital Committee; and Corporate Governance Committee) to provide counsel on specific work areas of the FSDC. The FSDC has consulted the Government on the appointment of the committee members in accordance with its Articles of Association.

The FSDC Chairman, Mr Laurence Li, SC, said, “I am glad to extend a warm welcome to the committee members of a new term. Their joining will further strengthen the broad-based representation of the committee membership of the FSDC. Their strong connection, profound expertise and immense experience will add new dimensions and invaluable insights to the FSDC in providing financial services policy recommendations to the Government and promoting Hong Kong as an international financial hub. We look forward to working closely with the expanded FSDC family.”

Mr Li also expressed sincere gratitude to the 16 outgoing committee members and two retiring Board of Directors, Mr Mark Dickens and Mr Joe Ngai, for their extraordinary contributions to the FSDC in the past years.

Moving forward, the FSDC will continue to enhance its capabilities in performing its key functions of policy research, market promotion and talent development, engaging stakeholders across various financial sectors and driving the delivery of messages on key growth areas of the industry such as family office, ESG and green finance, FinTech as well as connectivity with mainland China and the rest of the world.
