Odaily Planet Daily News: Hong Kong Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau Director Paul Hui said at the "Opportunities in Hong Kong" interview that Hong Kong is the only city that enjoys both global and Chinese advantages. Hong Kong should strategically focus on multiple areas, such as green finance, family offices, virtual assets, etc., so that investors around the world can understand the key development areas of Hong Kong. "Among the more than 2,600 listed companies (in Hong Kong), 70%-80% are from mainland companies in terms of trading volume. Because the economic momentum of our own country is getting better and better, the economic growth rate of the mainland exceeded 5% last year, and Hong Kong's GDP growth last year also reached 3.3%, so this itself gives us a lot of confidence, allowing us to continue to provide a good development foundation for the stock market," he said. When asked how Hong Kong should attract overseas investment, he said: "We need to combine an effective government with an efficient market. Under this premise, we must strategically focus on some areas to let investors around the world know where Hong Kong needs to focus on development and where the opportunities are." Xu Zhengyu emphasized that in the context of increasing global uncertainty, "connectors" and "value-added" are more needed, so Hong Kong can play an "irreplaceable" role. "Hong Kong has always been a very good platform. We serve the world and are highly internationalized and rule-of-law. Therefore, people who want to obtain capital or want to invest will gather in Hong Kong." (21 Economic Network)
