Chen Maobo: In the future, Shanghai and Hong Kong can accelerate the promotion of the synergistic combination of "industries in Shanghai, overseas capital in Hong Kong".

The 2026 Lujiazui Forum General Assembly IV "Shanghai-Hong Kong Financial Synergy Empowers High-level Financial Opening" was held on the evening of June 17th. The Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government, Paul Chan Mo-po, stated that global investors' demand for RMB allocation continues to rise, and Shanghai and Hong Kong can work together to enrich investment products and risk management tools. In the fields of gold and bulk commodities, in cooperation with the Shanghai futures and spot markets, more "China-priced" products settled in RMB can be promoted, effectively enhancing the international investment and reserve functions of the RMB. China's outbound direct investment urgently needs to expand, and for companies to go abroad, they must walk steadily, further and well, which requires the coordination of domestic and foreign resources and the provision of professional financial services on an international platform. In the future, Shanghai and Hong Kong can accelerate the promotion of a synergistic combination of "industry in Shanghai, foreign finance in Hong Kong", providing companies with a comprehensive domestic and foreign fund and asset allocation plan.
