Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI)

As one of the earliest central bank signatories of the PRI, we participated in joint signatories’ efforts co-ordinated by the PRI to develop the standard RI due diligence questionnaire (DDQ) for private investments, helping private market investors conduct ESG assessment of general partners (GPs) and prospective investments.

To the 20^th anniversary of the PRI, we participated in PRI’s Future of Responsible Investing Asset Owners Group in 2025, contributing to the discussions and envisioning around the purpose of responsible investment, and the thematic and structural priorities in the future.

We are also serving on the PRI’s Asset Owner Technical Advisory Committee to actively shape the global agenda.

Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System (NGFS)

Demonstrating its commitment to good ESG practices as a member of the NGFS, we contributed to the NGFS’ publications on sustainable and responsible investment as well as climate-related disclosure for central banks.

For 2024–2026, we co-chaired with the European Central Bank the Subgroup on Transition Planning under the Workstream “Central Bank Operations” (formerly “Net Zero for Central Banks”), which supported central banks in their early efforts towards transition planning.

Our Engagement with Like-minded Investors and Counterparts

HKMA ESG workshop

We host annual ESG workshops to share RI practices and market developments. In September 2025, we successfully hosted the seventh annual ESG Workshop as part of the Hong Kong Green Week for the first time, bringing over 90 investment professionals from both public and private markets in discussions about recent challenges and opportunities in RI.

Engagement with market counterparts

We encourage our public market counterparties, primarily investment banks, to expand their manpower and research capabilities on long-term sustainability, especially in Hong Kong.

We continued to participate in various industry forums and speaking engagements to share insights on RI and climate transition strategies.
