On the 29th, the Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Paul Chan, posted on his blog that the entire Asian economy has shown strong resilience in the face of geopolitical shocks. In this new era of Asia, Hong Kong will have great potential and continue to make new contributions to the prosperity and development of the region and Hong Kong itself. Chen Maobo believes that with the increase of international trade and non trade barriers, economic and trade cooperation within the Asian region will inevitably be enhanced and deepened in the future. He stated that Hong Kong is a free port and an important gateway to connect with the mainland and the world. In the era of sustained rapid growth in Asia, Hong Kong will find new opportunities, new momentum, and new ways out. Taking finance as an example, Hong Kong's comprehensive financial services can play a more important and diverse role in this process. Chen Maobo said that the current global political and economic landscape is being reshaped, and the development of emerging economies still faces many challenges. Hong Kong's advantages in resources, knowledge, experience, and networks in the fields of investment and innovation can also help Asian emerging economies accelerate the realization of more prosperous and inclusive development through technology and innovation. He stated that in the new era of Asia, deeper integration and development within the region has become one of the most important and irreversible economic development trends in the world.
