The Apec Finance Ministers Meeting is set to begin in Hong Kong on Tuesday, marking the first time the Special Administrative Region will host this event. The two-day gathering, which usually precedes the main summit in Shenzhen in November, is an opportunity for the government to make a favorable impression on the international visitors.
Financial Secretary Paul Chan emphasized the importance of leaving the attendees with a positive view of Hong Kong, stating that the city will showcase its unique advantages under the one country, two systems framework.
Beijing has appointed Finance Minister Lan Foan to chair the meeting, with four major topics slated for discussion: financial policies supporting people's livelihoods, digital infrastructure financing, promoting financial inclusion, and fostering exchanges and cooperation among young finance professionals. Chan highlighted Hong Kong's vibrant capital market, encouraging foreign companies to list and raise capital in the city.
He also noted that Hong Kong's professional services sector offers valuable consulting and risk management services to navigate the mainland market. Chan stressed the significance of making a strong impression on the visitors, with authorities prepared to guide them around the city post-meeting.
