Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor pointed out in the video speech of the 11th "CCTV Financial Forum Hong Kong" that day, although Hong Kong's economy has suffered multiple blows and the political and social conditions have been severely challenged in the past year or so, Hong Kong's financial system has performed well. Extraordinary resilience, a thriving stock market, an orderly operation of banks, and continuous inflow of funds.
She mentioned that the 2020 Policy Address released in November this year has emphasized that actively integrating into the overall national development is an important strategy for leading Hong Kong's economic development.
The central government has always supported Hong Kong to consolidate and enhance its status as an international financial center. Through a number of financial "interconnection" policy measures, it has not only helped the opening of the mainland capital market, but also expanded Hong Kong's financial business.
Recently, the central government agreed to include Hong Kong-listed biotechnology companies and mainland science and technology innovation board stocks in the scope of "interconnection" stock selection, and even speeding up the implementation of "cross-border financial management" is a two-cycle concrete practice and a combination of innovation. Scientific, convenient and innovative multi-win solutions.
Carrie Lam said that Hong Kong is a highly rule-of-law, market-oriented, and international economy. It enjoys the unique advantages of "one country, two systems". It is also an international financial center, aviation hub and a pool of professional talents.
Under the new development pattern of the country, Hong Kong can further strengthen its role as an "intermediary" in the international cycle, including helping the internationalization of the RMB and acting as an international financing platform for mainland enterprises.
On the other hand, Hong Kong companies and professional service providers can focus on the mainland market and seize business opportunities.
She believes that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region should continue to give play to its advantages of "One Country, Two Systems", take the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area as a starting point, and actively become a "participant" in the domestic cycle and a "facilitator" in the international cycle; play this dual role well, It will be an endless source of power for the Hong Kong Economic Belt.
