Hong Kong and Singapore Financial Hubs Can Grow Together

Hong Kong Singapore financial hubs cooperation can help both cities grow and remain resilient, Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said after a three-day visit during which he met Chief Executive John Lee and other public- and private-sector leaders.

In a blog post, Wong said Hong Kong felt familiar yet renewed, while Lee said both cities shared a commitment to free trade and multilateralism.

The visit came as Singapore moved to strengthen its bullion ecosystem, with the Monetary Authority of Singapore outlining plans to develop the city-state as a gold trading centre for Asia through stronger trading, clearing and storage infrastructure.

The push suggests Hong Kong Singapore financial hubs cooperation may increasingly extend across both mainstream finance and bullion markets.
