According to PANews, the latest Global Financial Centers Index report reveals that Hong Kong has ascended to third place globally, trailing only New York and London, and securing the top spot in Asia. Notably, Hong Kong has achieved the number one position in investment management worldwide, reflecting the city's robust growth in asset and wealth management. Additionally, Hong Kong's ranking in financial technology has significantly improved, placing it among the top ten global fintech centers.
Peter Yan, CEO of Cyberport, remarked, 'Hong Kong's rise to third place in the global financial center rankings and its substantial leap in fintech to the top ten is exhilarating. This achievement underscores the international recognition of Hong Kong's continuous efforts and successes in driving financial innovation. As Hong Kong's flagship digital technology and startup incubation hub, Cyberport hosts the largest fintech and Web3.0 enterprise cluster in the city, fostering a thriving ecosystem that facilitates collaboration with major financial institutions and the practical application of research outcomes. Cyberport also actively serves as a 'super connector,' helping enterprises secure international financing opportunities and expand into broader markets. Looking ahead, the upcoming launch of the 'AI Supercomputing Center' at Cyberport, Hong Kong's first large-scale facility of its kind, will provide robust support for the computational needs of the fintech industry. Cyberport will continue to align with the government's innovative policy initiatives, including developments in AI, Web3.0, green finance, and virtual assets, to help solidify Hong Kong's status as an international financial center.'
