“Hong Kong is an essential gateway to the Mainland for global firms and
investors and our markets have demonstrated strong resilience throughout
unprecedented challenges,” said Mr Tim Lui, the SFC’s Chairman. “We are confident
that Hong Kong’s position as a leading global financial centre is secure.”
“Financial market activities are increasingly interconnected and
cross-disciplinary in nature, and this calls for an agile and targeted regulatory
approach,” said Mr Ashley Alder, the SFC’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO). “We
keep a laser focus on the areas of greatest risk where our work must have the greatest
impact.”
To strengthen Hong Kong’s competitiveness as a leading asset and wealth
management centre, the SFC authorised a number of new exchange-traded funds and
other investment products in Hong Kong. In addition, the launch of the MSCI China
A 50 Connect Index Futures contract provides an additional risk management tool for
hedging exposures to the Mainland’s A-share market.
To promote sustainability and tackle climate change, the Green and Sustainable
Finance Cross-Agency Steering Group (Note 3), co-chaired by the SFC and the Hong
Kong Monetary Authority, published a preliminary feasibility assessment of carbon
market opportunities for Hong Kong and announced next steps to transition the
financial ecosystem towards carbon neutrality. The SFC also concluded a consultation
on requirements for fund managers to consider climate-related risks in investment and
risk management processes and provide investors with appropriate disclosures.
“Our new climate-related disclosure requirements for funds and fund managers will
make it easier for investors to make informed decisions,” said Ms Julia Leung, the
SFC’s Deputy CEO and Executive Director of Intermediaries. “This kind of
regulatory support is essential to mobilise finance to support the transition to a low
carbon economy.”
