Hong Kong Fintech 2030 Plan Pushes AI and Blockchain Projects

Hong Kong Fintech 2030 plan initiatives will focus on more advanced applications of artificial intelligence and distributed ledger technology, backed by high-performance computing, as the city seeks to strengthen its fintech ecosystem.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority said the blueprint includes four flagship projects covering areas such as quantum computing, risk data, cybersecurity, and skills development, alongside events, competitions, platform upgrades, and hands-on workshops to tackle barriers to wider adoption.

HKMA deputy chief executive Arthur Yuen said the future of finance will be shaped by those who can harness sophisticated technology, and that the plan aims to balance fast-evolving risks and opportunities while building resilience.
