Hong Kong's Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau said Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Christopher Hui attended the Governors' Business Session of the 59th Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors of the Asian Development Bank in Samarkand, where he positioned Hong Kong as a platform to help turn regional financing ambitions into action. In remarks at the meeting, he highlighted Hong Kong's role in green and sustainability finance and said the market is also seeking to develop a world-class international gold trading market. Hui said Hong Kong's financial ecosystem can direct capital towards projects with positive social and environmental impact, drawing on its connectivity with the Mainland and the world under one country, two systems. He also said that, amid rising geopolitical tensions and increasing global demand for gold, Hong Kong is exploring dialogue with countries across the region to build a more connected, efficient and innovative gold ecosystem. Separately, he met Thailand Public Debt Management Office Public Debt Advisor Supak Chaiyawan and promoted Hong Kong's financial and professional services as support for Thailand's fundraising and capital diversification. He was due to attend the Governors' Plenary on May 5 in Samarkand and hold further meetings with financial officials from other countries.
