Hong Kong Regulation Reputation to Win Global Investors, Hui Says

Hong Kong financial regulation reputation will be a key draw for global investors as the city navigates uncertainty and shifting asset allocations, Financial Services and the Treasury Secretary Christopher Hui Ching-yu said.

Hui said Hong Kong must upgrade infrastructure and develop new growth engines to keep investors relying on the city across market cycles.

He said the government will trial a central clearing system for gold in 2026, seek cooperation with Shanghai to boost influence in the bullion market, and pursue a Hong Kong-import, Shenzhen-refining, Hong Kong-return model.

Hui also said tax concessions for corporate treasury centres will be optimised and family office relief widened to cover digital assets and personal loans, strengthening Hong Kong’s financial regulation reputation.
