The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission published an update on its leadership role at International Organization of Securities Commissions Asia-Pacific Regional Committee meetings in Sydney, where regional securities regulators worked towards a shared view on pathways to address key capital market issues and strengthen market resilience through collaboration and new technology. Chaired by SFC Chief Executive Officer Julia Leung, the meetings covered public and private market developments, regional supervisory and enforcement priorities, and efforts to tackle online scams, alongside the regulatory impact and opportunities from tokenisation and artificial intelligence. The SFC also participated in IOSCO enforcement and supervisory directors’ meetings on technology-related challenges, and co-chaired an EU-Asia Pacific Regulatory Forum that discussed regulatory simplification, sustainable finance initiatives and the pace of technological change in financial services; in a keynote at the EU-Asia Financial Services Dialogue at ASIFMA’s annual conference, Leung called for broader regional markets, responsible use of technology and stronger cross-border partnerships to support efficient capital flows in stressed conditions and to address online scams, digitalisation of finance and sustainable finance.
