Hong Kong Securities and Futures Professionals Association: the establishment of the "Mainland Enterprises Going Global Class" will help strengthen Hong Kong's role as an international financial center.

The Hong Kong government mentioned in a new policy address that it will integrate Hong Kong's overseas offices and establish a "Mainland Enterprises Going Abroad Team." The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Professionals Association stated that this is beneficial for financial services, establishment of financial centers, professional services, and promoting cross-border capital cooperation, which will help strengthen Hong Kong's role as an international financial center and drive growth in local professional services. As for a series of measures proposed in the policy address to enhance market competitiveness, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Professionals Association said that strengthening measures such as stock market expansion, bond and derivatives categories expansion, and construction of the money market response to market liquidity and product demand, will consolidate Hong Kong's position as an offshore Renminbi hub. Arrangements such as the "Science and Technology Enterprise Line," research on T+1 settlement, and attracting overseas companies to list, will enhance market vitality. However, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Professionals Association pointed out that while Hong Kong's connectivity function helps connect domestic and foreign capital, promote cross-border fund flows and innovation, opportunities must be based on professionalism and compliance. Market expansion must be synchronized with strengthening regulatory coordination, risk management, and infrastructure construction, while continuing to cultivate talent, promote financial technology and green finance innovation, and safeguard investor interests and market integrity.
