Odaily Planet Daily News: Hong Kong Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau's Deputy Secretary, Chan Ho-lim, said that as of early May, the Hong Kong government's new capital investor entry scheme (CIES) had received more than 2,500 inquiries and more than 140 applications. Chan Ho-lim pointed out that eligible persons who invest at least HK$30 million in permitted investment assets, including SFC-approved funds, can settle in Hong Kong and seek development. Last month, Hong Kong also welcomed the listing of the first batch of spot virtual asset ETFs, adding diversity to Hong Kong market products and further supporting Hong Kong's leading ETF market position.
