Chen Haolian: Seize the opportunities of technological development and green finance, leveraging Hong Kong's advantage as a "super value-added person".

Chen Haolian, Deputy Director of Financial and Treasury Bureau of Hong Kong, stated at the ASIA FINANCIAL Forum that Hong Kong is attracting funds, and expanding capital flow through various individual investment schemes. By the end of 2025, the New Capital Investment Entrant Scheme has received a total of 2850 applications, which are expected to bring in investments of HK$85 billion to the market. Chen Haolian mentioned that Hong Kong needs to continually enhance its own advantages and is taking various measures to assist issuers in seizing opportunities brought by technological development, such as providing funding for the issuance of digital bonds. Over the years, Hong Kong has implemented measures to become a leader in the field of green finance, attracting more green finance transactions to take place in Hong Kong. He emphasized the importance of aligning Hong Kong's regulatory standards with international norms, as it is the trust of global investors in Hong Kong and its system that enables Hong Kong to play the role of a "super value creator", connecting the East and West and assisting issuers and financial institutions in accessing international markets. He also mentioned that artificial intelligence, financial technology, and green finance will change the current situation, replacing some traditional products and services, while also giving rise to new products and services, making many value-added services more widespread and inclusive.
