The third Global Investment Summit concluded in Hong Kong on the 16th, with over 4000 financial leaders and investors from approximately 1500 international institutions attending the summit. As the representative of the organizer, Brendan Nelson, Chairman of HSBC Group, stated at the summit that the continued opening up of the market in mainland China has created enormous opportunities, and Hong Kong plays a crucial role. Hong Kong, as an international financial center, has experienced multiple economic cycles. I believe that under the 'One Country, Two Systems' policy, Hong Kong has the ability to cope with various uncertainties in the external market. HSBC has great confidence in the prospects of Hong Kong and will continue to invest. ”Liao Yijian, Co CEO of HSBC Asia and the Middle East, said. Several attendees believe that Hong Kong is further consolidating its role as a "super contact" through stability and openness. Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam stated at the summit that stability and certainty are the core strengths of Hong Kong amidst global turbulence, with over 500 companies currently lining up to list in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is integrating professional services such as law and finance to assist mainland Chinese and overseas enterprises in expanding their global markets, while connecting global capital and sharing opportunities in the vast Chinese market. Nie Zhiheng observed that the Hong Kong economy continues to strengthen, and the capital market is experiencing a strong rebound - the recovery of the IPO market (initial public offerings) and high trading volume are not accidental, but a concentrated reflection of Hong Kong's institutional advantages. Georges Elhedery, CEO of HSBC Group, mentioned that in the past two years, the bank has added about 1 million new customers in Hong Kong each year, most of whom are non local customers. He believes that these clients are attracted by Hong Kong's position as a mature wealth management center and a gateway connecting mainland China with other parts of the world. The Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Paul Chan, stated that there are currently over 3300 single family offices in Hong Kong. Hong Kong provides tax incentives and related financial ecosystem services for family office industries, allowing investors to seize business growth opportunities. He is confident that in 10 to 15 years, Hong Kong will climb to at least second place in the global ranking of international financial centers. He emphasized, 'If you want to invest in the future, invest in Hong Kong.' Bob Prince, chairman of the board of directors of Bridgewater Fund, who attended the meeting, believed that Hong Kong has enormous development potential. At present, the gold trading market in Hong Kong has achieved steady development, and its advantage in RMB financing will make Hong Kong an important growth pole for financial activities in Asia.
