Paul Chan Mo-po, Hong Kong Financial Secretary, briefs Asia House on Hong Kong’s economic outlook

Paul Chan Mo-po, Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong SAR, provided Asia House with updates on Hong Kong’s economy and its strategic position as a global financial hub at an off-the-record briefing on Thursday 26 September.

Secretary Chan discussed how Hong Kong has restored its global connectivity post-pandemic and highlighted opportunities to enhance economic ties with the UK and Gulf states in critical sectors such as fintech, AI, and biotech. Secretary Chan also emphasised Hong Kong’s robust financial infrastructure and regulatory framework, making it an attractive destination for international businesses looking to access the Greater Bay Area and mainland China.

Asia House Corporate Members engaged with the Financial Secretary on a broad range of topics, including public-private partnerships in infrastructure projects, the future of consumer-based industries, and ongoing initiatives to deepen cross-border transactions and promote the internationalisation of the Renminbi.

Chaired by Asia House Chief Executive Michael Lawrence OBE, and held in London, the exclusive briefing provided valuable insights into Hong Kong’s evolving economic landscape and the policy measures strengthening its role as a global financial hub.
