Business leaders, lawmakers, and academics in Hong Kong are backing the city’s efforts to seize opportunities in offshore yuan financing, Belt and Road fundraising, fintech applications, and the “finance-plus-technology” model to enhance its status as a global financial hub. A resolution from the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in July emphasised reforms to boost Hong Kong’s role as an international financial centre. Agnes Chan, chairwoman of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, highlighted Hong Kong’s strategic position amid global economic shifts. The city leads in offshore renminbi transactions and aims to pioneer innovative financial services, green finance, and digital currencies.
