Hong Kong Targets Capital Market and Digital Finance Leadership

Hong Kong should cement its status as a regional hub for capital markets, digital finance, and treasury operations amid global structural shifts, said Financial Services Development Council (FSDC) Chairman Benjamin Hung. In the FSDC’s annual report, Hung identified increased market volatility and investor diversification needs as opportunities for Hong Kong to enhance its role in global capital flow and supply chain management. He underlined the importance of stablecoins as efficient payment tools rather than speculative investments. The FSDC will focus on bolstering Hong Kong’s international competitiveness, attracting top talent, and advancing the city’s role as a leading financial centre in Asia.
